Recently, more and more often we hear this word dysbiosis. As doctors in Russia explain, dysbiosis is an imbalance in the balance of good and bad bacteria, which forms a dysfunction of the intestines. But the most amazing thing is that in Europe they have not even heard of such a disease, although we put this diagnosis to every 5 babies.
A baby is born into this world with a sterile organism, he gets used to our environment. After birth, bad bacteria enter the baby's intestines, very often with colostrum, and an imbalance occurs. That is why children under one year old often have constipation.
The baby's body cannot break down breast milk into all trace elements. But dysbiosis can also appear due to the intake of antibiotics, after birth injuries, burns, etc.
Let's try to figure out how to help the baby. So, if you find that your baby hasn't gone to the toilet for more than two days, take action.
The first and most harmless way is to give the baby puree of prunes, pumpkins, zucchini. But mashed potatoes can be given only from 4 months, if the baby is younger, then the mother can eat these products and feed her baby with breast milk.
If that doesn't work, go to the second method. The pharmacy sells glycerin suppositories for babies, their effect is observed after 15-20 minutes. Why candles and not an enema? Because candles are harmless, but the enema washes out the intestinal microflora. If the above methods did not help, then contact your doctor.
Also, signs of dysbiosis can be green stools, bloating, colic and vomiting in the baby, these signs give the first bell for mom. The baby may even refuse breast milk, even though it will be hungry. He cannot lie still because he is twisted from colic.
In this case, you must immediately inform the doctor about suspicions of the above mentioned disease. The pediatrician will order you to get tested. If your fears are confirmed, the doctor will prescribe a course of treatment. Most likely these will be biophages, which will help restore the balance of the intestines.
The most important thing is to monitor the cleanliness, nutrition and health of the baby. After all, that's what we are mothers!
