Xiao Bao’s mother was very distressed recently because she hadn’t had a bowel movement for a few days in a row. She drank honeysuckle lotion, but her stool remained the same, and when she inserted the plug, she was able to solve it, but when she didn’t use it, she wouldn’t. I heard people say that if you keep using the plug, your baby will become dependent on it. The mother was conflicted and torn, what should she do? If she can’t get rid of the stool, her baby’s appetite won’t be very open and she will become unhappy. So, what are the circumstances under which constipation usually occurs in babies? 1, feeding and diet: complete milk feeding baby, milk without sugar or sugar amount is relatively small, most of the stool will be dry, resulting in defecation difficulties, constipation occurs. This is related to the milk contains a substance called casein, casein after calcification to form a calcium soap will not dissolve, making the stool dry and lumpy. In addition, now children eat delicate food, lack of fiber; or eat too little, after digestion of the gastrointestinal tract residue is also less, the amount of stool is significantly reduced, not easy to stimulate the intestinal tract caused by defecation, because the baby does not solve the stool for a few days, stool stays in the large intestine for a long time, and the large intestine has a strong role in absorbing water, the more dry the water in the stool, the coarser it becomes, the result is less easy to solve out. 2, environment and exercise: baby’s bowel movements are more likely to be affected by the living environment, when the environment changes, the child’s stool habits suddenly change, coupled with the usual stool habits and bad, it will lead to the baby difficult to adapt, thus constipation. Only used to the toilet defecation baby will not adapt to squatting stool, kindergarten or school if there is no toilet baby will not defecate, the formation of constipation over time. Sometimes, babies may also be nervous because of certain environmental factors, coupled with the lack of water, constipation can also occur. At the same time, the stool needs to rely on the effective peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and relatively strong abdominal force to push out of the body, if the baby lacks physical exercise, the stool is not easy to be solved, the child is also prone to constipation. 3, congenital and acquired diseases: if the baby has a fever, while drinking enough water, in the process of fever reduction accompanied by water loss and heat consumption, constipation will also occur. In addition, in order to treat rickets when taking calcium, in order to treat stomach disease antacids, etc., may cause constipation. Some premature babies, malnourished, weak babies or babies with cretinism, because the intestinal muscles are underdeveloped and too loose, resulting in intestinal dysfunction, intestinal peristalsis is weakened and constipation occurs. Some babies have a condition in the rectum and anus, either congenital or acquired, which may also lead to constipation. Such as congenital megacolon, is due to a section of the colon or rectum in the nerve development disorders, resulting in this section of the intestine can not function properly, can not produce normal stool excretion, will out appear constipation. Constipation can also occur when the anus is congenitally narrower than normal, making it more difficult to pass stool. Acquired perianal diseases such as anal fissures and perianal abscesses can also cause constipation if the baby is unable to defecate normally due to the discomfort of defecation, and the stool accumulates for a long time and becomes dry. When constipation occurs in babies, we have to find the cause and also actively intervene to deal with it.
