When staying at home to avoid the cold, it is easy to have a dry mouth, nose and throat and dry stools, and children will also appear, which makes mothers worry about this. Let's understand the causes of constipation, take preventive measures, and deal with it with ease.
Constipation in children is mostly caused by too dry indoor air, and it may also be caused by fire or gastrointestinal disorders. Some parents lack feeding experience, especially babies who have already eaten complementary foods, with irregular diets, overly refined foods, low intake of dietary fiber and carbohydrates, and excessive intake of calcium and proteinNot forming the habit of having regular bowel movements;The amount of exercise is small, and the intestinal peristalsis is slow, etc., are all reasons.
Parents don't have to be overly nervous, constipation in young children is one of the common diseases of young children, almost every child has a high chance of encountering it, do a good job of preventive measures through the following methods of conditioning, you can be effectively improved.
Ensure that you eat a regular and balanced diet, and eat small, frequent meals. Choose some nutritious foods, but also avoid consuming too much meat, etc., which is not easy to be digested and absorbed, which will aggravate constipation symptoms, and can appropriately give children coarse grains and coarse fiber foods, such as: millet, corn, various beans, celery, etc., are good choices.
Stay hydrated. Let the child take appropriate boiled water every day, which can fully soften the stool in the body, prevent and assist constipation, and you can also boil some pear water and white radish water for the child to drink.
Develop good lifestyle habits and bowel habits. Irregular life will not only disrupt the biological clock in the body, but also affect the normal physiological function, parents can take one hour after breakfast as the baby's fixed defecation time, and gradually help the baby develop the habit of going to the toilet regularly, forming a bowel conditioning reflex.
Exercise appropriately. Exercise can increase intestinal peristalsis, promote bowel movements, and ensure a certain amount of outdoor activity time in cold winters, and you can also do some exercises suitable for indoors.
Supplement with probiotics. The intestinal organs of infants and young children are not yet mature, and it is difficult to resist various stimuli in the external environment. Mothers can follow the doctor's advice to appropriately intake probiotics for their children to regulate the intestines. In the case of Bacillus subtilis double viable bacteria granules, it can not only help babies establish healthy intestinal flora, promote intestinal digestion and absorption and intestinal peristalsis, restore normal intestinal peristalsis, thereby promoting constipation, regulating the intestines to a healthy state, but also better prevent infections and intestinal diseases such as constipation, indigestion, diarrhea and so on.
Massage promotes bowel movements. Let the child lie down, the mother will rub her hands together, and gently massage her abdomen in a clockwise direction with her navel as the center, which can promote the child's intestinal peristalsis and promote the discharge of stool.
1. Indigestion or fire
Indigestion and fire cause the baby's tongue to be thick and white, which is the most common. Because the development of the digestive system of infants and young children is not perfect, if the baby does not pay attention to the diet, eating too much and being too greasy will easily lead to indigestion or fire, which will cause the tongue coating to become thick and white.
So first of all, parents should help the baby to reduce the fire, in addition to drinking more water, you can also give the baby to eat more heat-clearing and detoxifying food, such as white radish, lotus root, mung bean, hawthorn and other foods, daily to let the baby eat more vegetables and fruits, be sure to replenish sufficient water.
Second, it may be a residual milk stain on the tongue
For breastfed babies, this reason is the first thing to consider, as long as the baby's diet and physical development are still normal, there is no need to worry too much. Just like every time you eat an orange, your tongue turns yellow, it's not too much of a problem. Mothers can use a cotton swab dipped in water to wash their baby's tongue or let him drink more water.
3. The baby has gastrointestinal problems
The baby's digestive system has not yet developed soundly, the activity of gastric juice and digestive enzymes is still very low, can not quickly digest a large amount of food, if the baby eats very frequently, the stomach and intestines are prone to disharmony, which is the performance of the tongue coating is white, but also shows that the baby's stomach and intestines are a little weak, need to be regulated.
Don't let "constipation" take advantage of the void to come to the door, daily care should be more attention, multi-faceted protection in place, and build a health defense line this winter.
