Constipation
Is your baby putting too much effort to defecate?
Bowel patterns may vary from a child to another just as they do in adults. What’s normal for your child may be different from what’s normal for another child.
It’s not only a matter of stool frequency, you also need to pay attention to their aspect. If your baby’s stools are hard, dry and difficult or painful to pass, then he/she is likely to be suffering from constipation.
There are multiple reasons behind constipation, and most of them are related to your baby’s diet.
If constipation isn’t treated, it may get worse. The longer the stool stays in the lower intestinal tract, the larger, firmer and drier it becomes. This means it becomes more difficult and painful to pass which creates a vicious circle eventually.
Constipation could be seen when you:
- Stop breastfeeding and switch to an inadequate infant formula
- Start introducing solid foods to your baby’s diet
- Do not introduce enough fibers and fluids in your baby’s diet after the age of 1 year
