How to recuperate constipation of four-year-old baby

Infant constipation is a common disease, and dyspepsia is one of the common causes of infant constipation. So, what about baby constipation? How to recuperate? Let me introduce you.

1, eat more fruits and vegetables

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of constipation in children lies in physical dryness and heat. Therefore, children with constipation can usually eat more fruits, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, cantaloupe, etc., to eliminate calories in the body. If children don't like the taste of this fruit, they can sprinkle some condensed milk, yogurt or ice cream on the fruit to make the sweet milk taste drown out the melon taste. In addition, parents should often cook mung bean glutinous rice porridge for their children, which can also play a role in reducing fever and relaxing bowels.

Step 2 Exercise properly

Usually, parents should encourage their children to take part in sports. Because exercise can increase intestinal peristalsis and promote defecation. Parents can also gently massage the child's abdomen clockwise around the navel before going to bed, which can not only promote the child's intestinal peristalsis, but also help him fall asleep. In addition, gently pressing the following two acupoints one hour after meals can also promote defecation.

Zusanli point: This point is located 3 inches below the patella and 1 inch outside the tibia. You can press/kloc-0 continuously for ~ 2 minutes.

Zhigou point: This point is located 3 inches above the wrist dorsal striation, between ulna and radius. You can press 1-2 continuously to seed.

3. Develop good defecation habits

Failure to defecate on time is one of the reasons why many babies are constipated. Children aged 3 ~ 7 years old, their abdominal and pelvic muscles are in the development stage, and the defecation reflex function is not yet mature. They don't know that they should go to the toilet when they feel comfortable, and they often need parents to remind them. Therefore, parents can take one hour after breakfast as a fixed defecation time for their children. At the beginning, parents can accompany their children to defecate every time for about 10 minutes, and gradually help them develop the habit of going to the toilet regularly. Give your child a glass of juice or warm honey water to moisten the intestines before going to the toilet.

4, eat less and eat more meals, carefully choose high-quality snacks.

Although children have a small stomach and can't eat too much food at a time, they are energetic and active, and they need to supplement their diet almost every 3 ~ 4 hours. Therefore, children's diet should adhere to small meals and multiple meals. Parents can divide their children's daily nutrition into three main meals and two supplementary meals. As for the side meal, you can choose some nutritious foods, such as tremella, almonds, honey and so on. These foods not only contain high-quality protein and lipids, but also have the function of relaxing bowels and moistening intestines, which is the best source of vitality for children. Parents can cook tremella and chop it into sweet soup for their children. You can also grind almonds, add some oats and raisins, and brew them with water for children to drink; Or pour honey on fruits or cakes for children to eat.

5. Ingeniously supplement fiber

If children usually hate vegetables and fruits, they can eat more foods such as fungus, Pleurotus eryngii, laver, kelp and dried fruits. So as to increase its fiber intake and promote defecation.
