Constipation is the difficulty that can occur to evacuate. It is a very common disorder in the baby as bowel movements and sphincter relaxation have not yet matured enough.
The baby is usually upset and uncomfortable if he is constipated, but as his diet consists exclusively of breast milk or artificial milk, certain homemade recipes based on fiber or fruits are not applicable. However, from 2 or 3 years old, if your son or daughter is constipated, you can resort to natural remedies to relieve him and get him to evacuate.
1. You can do massages on the child's belly making circular movements in a clockwise direction. This will also provide relief if constipation is accompanied by a tummy ache.
2. Drink a glass of warm water and then give your child a breakfast that includes whole grains and fresh fruit.
3. Give the child the juice of two oranges before having your usual breakfast. Other fruits that can help relieve constipation taken first thing in the morning are raspberries, grapes, pears, plums or kiwi.
4. One of the most effective natural remedies is to have a daily diet rich in vegetables and fiber.
5. Diet by itself does not work miracles, so it is very important to ensure that the child performs physical exercise every day.
6. Drink plenty of water: increase the amount of water, preferably mineral, that the baby takes a day.
7. Teach the child to have the routine of going to the bathroom. Sit him on the potty or toilet for a while and show him the correct posture to adopt. You have to remind him that he should go whenever he feels like it and not continue playing or doing any other task.
In the event that following a diet rich in fiber and having moderate physical activity, the child cannot go to the bathroom by himself, it would be advisable to visit the pediatrician who could prescribe a laxative to help him at specific times. Nevertheless, can eventually make the gut lazy, so accustoming the child to evacuate by himself is the best therapy.
