If within 2 days or so baby does not go defecate, it is likely he suffered from constipation.
Here are some simple tips that can help your baby to defecate more smoothly:
1. Try using stimulants (suppository)
Stimulants such as glycerin secure enough to use for small children and infants.
Glycerin is like a candle that can relieve constipation by stimulating the rectum and "lubricate" the intestinal wall so that dirt can be removed more easily.
However, be sure to use stimulants only when strictly necessary.
Using these substances on a regular basis can make babies become dependent and can not defecate without the help of these substances.
2. Use a thermometer
Use a rectal thermometer that is approved for use in children.
How do I use it? Lubricate the thermometer with jelly or lubricant and insert it into the anus baby.
Be careful not to insert the thermometer more than 5 cm. Do not worry if you see debris on the thermometer. It just shows the treatments were effective!
3. Give a little syrup
Add a teaspoon of syrup in baby formula bottle.
Syrup will soak up water along the gastrointestinal tract and thereby keeping children stool remains moist so easily removed.
