Many people do not suffer from constipation in normal times, but they often suffer from constipation in the hot summer. What should you do if you suffer from constipation in hot weather? Below are some treatments for constipation, you can learn about them.

Summer is hot and dry. If the baby does not replenish water in time, or eats too many hot fruits such as lychees, mangoes, etc., it will easily cause a sore throat. Summer is the season when Yang energy is at its peak. The high temperature, stuffiness and humidity lead to excessive water loss, which can also disrupt the normal functioning of a child's digestive and excretory systems. The symptoms of a baby getting angry include loss of appetite, dry stools, mouth sores, and poor sleep. Among them, difficulty in defecation is a common symptom of summer heat in most babies. The baby is constipated and only defecates once every 3 to 7 days. The stool is hard and the amount is small. It really makes the mother anxious and the baby is also in pain. To solve the problem of defecation difficulties caused by the baby getting angry, we should mainly focus on diet and care.

1. In terms of diet:

▲If the baby has difficulty defecating due to getting angry, in addition to giving the baby more water, you also need to work on his diet. Appropriately increase the intake of vegetable and fruit juices, and replenish your baby with more water between breastfeeding or meals; eat more vegetables and fruits, as the crude fiber in vegetables and fruits is very helpful in preventing baby constipation. Foods that can help babies reduce internal heat include grapefruit, pear, water chestnut, cabbage, celery, lotus root, etc. Eat less fried, grilled foods and sweets such as chocolate, cream, etc. In summer, you should also eat less hot fruits such as longan, lychee, and mango. If your baby has dry stools, it is recommended to eat more tomatoes, bananas, etc.

▲It is recommended to take water boiled with carrots in moderation. You can also use loquat, wolfberry, sugarcane or pear to boil water for your baby to drink, which can effectively relieve the baby's symptoms of getting angry. It is not recommended to give babies certain fever-reducing medicines, as they may cause diarrhea, which would be counterproductive. After all, babies have fragile stomachs.

▲For babies who are breastfed, the mother’s diet should also be light and easy to digest; for babies who are formula-fed, it is important to choose milk powder that will not cause irritation or constipation, as it can regulate the intestines well, acidify, soften the stool, and prevent constipation.

2. In terms of nursing:

▲Develop good eating and bowel habits, and have regular bowel movements 1-2 times a day.

▲Massage your baby’s abdomen clockwise twice a day for 5-10 minutes each time to promote intestinal peristalsis. In addition, moderate exercise can be done by doing passive exercises for the baby to promote intestinal peristalsis and help defecation.

▲When it comes to clothing, you should add or remove clothes as the seasons change, and avoid being exposed to heat or cold. Strengthen physical exercise and do more outdoor sports in daily life. Proper exercise can enhance immunity and fundamentally eliminate the causes of getting angry.
