Baby constipation symptoms

The symptoms of constipation mainly include difficulty in defecation, dry stools, reduced frequency of defecation, etc. 1. Difficulty in defecation The baby may show force, crying, red face, etc., and may even resist defecation because of pain in defecation. This is due to the difficulty in moving feces in the intestine, resulting in the baby needs to spend a lot of effort to discharge it. 2. Dry stool stool becomes dry and hard, sometimes granular, which will increase the difficulty and discomfort of defecation. Dry stool may stimulate intestinal mucosa, causing pain and discomfort. 3. The frequency of defecation is reduced compared with usual, the interval between defecation is significantly longer, and it may only be a few days. This is because intestinal motility slows down, feces stay in the intestine for too long, water is over-absorbed, resulting in constipation. It should be noted that the baby occasionally constipation symptoms may be caused by diet changes, insufficient water intake and other reasons, can be improved by adjusting diet and other methods. However, if constipation symptoms persist or are accompanied by other abnormal manifestations, such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, vomiting, fever, etc., seek medical attention in time to rule out other potential diseases.

At the same time, parents should pay close attention to their baby's bowel movements, develop good bowel habits, appropriately increase their baby's activity, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help prevent constipation.
