Stool disorder is a common problem in children in their first three years of life. Constipation is the most common type of disorder. At the same time, many parents do not know whether the child suffers from constipation or his condition is quite normal. As a result, treatment (or, on the contrary, inaction) leads to complications.
Necessary
Porridge, fermented milk products, vegetables, fruits, water, lemon, honey, exercise complex, laxative decoctions, choleretic teas
Instructions
Step 1
Change your child's diet. It is necessary to exclude potatoes, flour, sweets from the diet. It is also better to remove or restrict meat food.
Step 2
Feed your child with cereals, vegetables, fruits. The menu must contain fermented milk products, dried fruits, bran, nuts.
Step 3
30 minutes before your first breakfast, give your baby a glass of warm water with lemon juice and honey. When the stool is normal, the honey can be removed, but water with lemon should be drunk in the morning constantly. In addition, the amount of water consumed per day should be increased.
Step 4
You can normalize a child's stool with lean or castor oil. Pour in a glass of milk, add one teaspoon of castor oil and let your baby drink. The oil tastes bad, the child can feel it and refuse such a medicine, then you should buy castor oil in capsules from the pharmacy and use it in accordance with the instructions on the insert. Decoctions of laxative herbs, light choleretic agents in the form of tea help well. The stool liquefies as a result of the active secretion of bile.
Step 5
If the child has chronic constipation (stools less than three times a week with incomplete bowel movements), parents should take measures to increase their physical activity. Proper nutrition and feasible physical activity are a guarantee that soon the child will no longer be tormented by constipation.
Step 6
Offer your child a set of exercises. Since the problem of constipation in adults and older children is almost the same, which exercise you suggest does not matter. For constipation, exercises for the press, bending, bridge, twisting are effective. It is useful to protrude and retract the abdomen. In addition, it is necessary to teach the child to squat every day. During this exercise, the knees should be pressed against the lateral surfaces of the abdomen.
