Constipation is a common problem in both breastfed babies and those taking infant formula, with the main symptoms being the coughing of the baby's belly, the appearance of hard, dry stools, and the discomfort that the baby feels until he can do poo.
In addition to being careful about feeding, it is also very important to give enough water for the baby so that his bowel is well hydrated and allows better stool flow. See how much water your baby needs according to age.
1. Sweet Tea
Fennel tea should be made using only 100 ml of water to 1 tablespoon of sweet fennel. You should heat the water until the first air bubbles start, then turn off the fire and add the weed. Let the mixture rest for 5 to 10 minutes, strain and offer the baby after cooling, without adding sugar.
For infants under 6 months of age, talk to your pediatrician before using this tea.
2. Papaya Papaya with Oats
For infants older than 6 months, a good option is to offer 2 to 3 tablespoons of kneaded papaya mixed with 1 tablespoon of oat flakes. This blend is rich in fibers that will help the baby's bowel to function and can be offered 3 to 5 times a week, according to the improvement in the frequency and consistency of the baby's poop.
3. Avocado Papaya with Banana Nanica
Good avocado fat makes it easier for feces to pass through the baby's intestines, and banana fibers accelerate intestinal transit. This baby food should be made with 2 tablespoons of avocado and 1/2 well-ripened nanica banana, mixing the two crushed fruits to offer the baby.
4. Pumpkin and Broccoli
This salty potato can be used at baby's lunch. You should cook the pumpkin and knead it already on the baby's plate with a fork, adding 1 well-chopped flower of steamed broccoli. Additional help is given by placing 1 teaspoon of extra-turning olive oil on all the baby's lunch food.
