What to do if a baby drinks formula and has dry stools

Dry stools in infants drinking milk powder can be regulated by drinking more water, massage and medication. 1. Drink more water: you can give your infant water in small amounts between meals to increase the water in the intestinal tract, which will help alleviate the symptoms of dry stools. 2. Massage: Massage the baby’s stomach for 6-9 minutes in the morning and evening to increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, which helps the baby to digest and absorb the ingested food, and is also conducive to the discharge of feces, preventing feces from staying in the intestines for a long time and becoming dry. 3. Medication: When the intestinal flora is imbalanced, the digestive ability will be weakened, and then infants will have the symptom of dry stools. For this situation, parents can usually give the infant intestinal probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora, so as to alleviate the symptoms of dry stool, common bifidobacteria, lactobacillus and so on. If the infant drinks milk powder and has dry stools, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for standardized treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
