What to do if your baby is constipated and bleeding

The baby's health is a focus of a family's attention, but many babies have symptoms of flatulence, and some even have constipation and bleeding. What is going on? This situation makes parents very nervous, worrying that there is a problem with the baby's gastrointestinal or urinary system. In fact, there are many reasons for baby constipation and bleeding. The following article introduces several common reasons and solutions.

What to do if your baby is constipated and bleeding

The baby's constipation bleeding should be caused by anal fissure caused by constipation, which can be treated by the following methods:

1. Diet therapy.

It is best to use diet therapy to treat the baby's daily diet structure, which is better for the baby's health. It can effectively prevent the impact of drugs on the baby's health and even development. Generally speaking, if a breastfeeding baby is constipated, the baby can be fed more foods containing laxatives. Common foods include orange juice, red date juice, cabbage juice, etc.

2. Artificial feeding.

Artificially fed babies are more likely to suffer from constipation. Of course, if sugar and complementary foods are added in a reasonable way, constipation can be effectively avoided. The main method is to increase the sugar in milk to 8%, and add fruit juice, which can effectively stimulate intestinal peristalsis. This can prevent constipation and bleeding. For example, it is more common to add complementary foods such as vegetable puree, chopped vegetables, fruits, porridge, etc.

3. Develop good living habits.

Patients with infant constipation and bleeding must pay attention to mental adjustments in their daily lives. In addition, factors such as long-term lack of sleep can also directly cause infant constipation and bleeding. In fact, if the breastfeeding mother can pay attention to ensuring her own diet in daily life, it can effectively prevent the occurrence of infant constipation and bleeding.

Common causes of constipation in babies

1. Inadequate diet.

Children eat less on a daily basis, so there will be less liquid food residue left after digestion, resulting in less stool and thicker stool. If the sugar content in milk does not meet the requirement, the child's intestinal motility will be weak and the stool will be dry. In addition, if children do not eat enough for a long time, they will become malnourished, and the tension of their abdominal and intestinal muscles will decrease or even atrophy, forming a vicious cycle and aggravating the child's constipation symptoms.

2. Abnormal intestinal function.

If children's feeding and rest schedules are irregular and certain conditioned reflexes are not formed, constipation will often occur. Frequent use of laxatives and enemas, lack of exercise, or suffering from chronic diseases such as malnutrition, rickets, cretinism, myasthenia gravis, etc. can all cause constipation due to lack of intestinal muscle strength and abnormal function.

3. Physical and physical abnormalities.

For example, anal fissure, anal stenosis, congenital megacolon, etc. can cause constipation in infants, and the child needs to be examined in the anus, lower spine and perineum. If a child suffers from constipation after birth, it may be related to family heredity.

4. Mental factors.

If a child's spirit is stimulated by the outside world, or if he lives in a different environment and has different living habits from before, then the child will become constipated in a short period of time.
