Breastmilk generally does not cause constipation, but insufficient breastmilk, too much protein in breastmilk and so on can also lead to constipation in babies.
1. Insufficient breast milk: when breast milk is insufficient, the baby is in a semi-starvation state due to the reduced amount of food, which can cause the baby’s stool volume to become less, the gastrointestinal peristalsis is weakened, which can lead to the baby’s symptoms of functional constipation.
2. Breast milk protein content is high: if lactating women eat too much pig’s feet, milk and other protein-rich foods, will cause the protein content of breast milk to rise, the baby is easy to eat breast milk after the stool is dry, which leads to the baby’s functional constipation symptoms.
If the baby’s functional constipation symptoms continue to not improve, should be timely consultation, under the guidance of a professional doctor for standardized treatment.
