Constipation
Constipation is the condition where the baby has not passed stools for more than 24 hours.
This is a common condition and almost all babies experience this in the
first year. Constipation causes uneasiness and the baby has a loss of
appetite and its sleep might be disturbed.
Common causes for constipation are:
1. Insufficient stools to cause a bowel movement.
2. New foods like formula milk, mixed cereal porridge and apples tend
to
cause constipation.
3. Bakery products like cakes and bread may cause constipation.
4. Babies having a cold get constipated.
5. Medication sometimes causes constipation.
Remedy and relief:
1. Try to give the baby lots of warm water. It might solve the problem.
2. Stop foods that you feel caused the constipation for some time.
3. Giving her a mashed banana might help.
4. If she has not passed stools for 48 hours, use a suppository that is
available with the pharmacist or a Traditional Indian Suppository.
Suppository
A suppository is a small pellet of enema that is inserted into her anus.
