Tips on defecation: Constipation is common in babies. It is important to correct your diet and exercise your defecation habits. Generally, babies who are exclusively breastfed rarely have constipation. If they have constipation, they only need to increase the amount of milk. For babies who have supplementary food, green leafy vegetables can be added appropriately to increase the intake of dietary fiber and promote intestinal peristalsis. Bowel training can start when the baby is 3 to 4 months old. Because intestinal peristalsis speeds up after eating, the urge to defecate often occurs. Therefore, it is generally recommended to allow children to defecate after eating to establish a conditioned reflex of defecation, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
