How to do baby constipation Infant constipation generally refers to the phenomenon that babies have fewer bowel movements than usual, or even no bowel movements for 2 to 3 days or longer. However, in determining whether a baby is constipated, the character of the stool is more important than the number of bowel movements. Sometimes the baby does not reduce the number of bowel movements, but the feces are dry and hard, granular, not easy to discharge, which also belongs to constipation. This is more of a concern than a baby who has normal stools once every 2 to 3 days. Most babies’ constipation is caused by lack of carbohydrates, fat or insufficient water intake in the diet, or too little crude fiber intake such as vegetables and fruits, which is mostly seen in babies who eat formula milk.

Older babies can increase the amount of pureed vegetables and fruits.
