Baby constipation is not a serious illness, but the harm is not small. Constipation will not only make toxic substances stay in the body for a long time, damage the liver and kidney, but also affect the growth and development of children, leading to obesity, fatty liver and other diseases. The most serious thing is that long-term constipation will affect children's intellectual development, so parents must pay attention to their baby's defecation in peacetime. There are many reasons for baby constipation. If the baby eats too little for a long time, it may cause malnutrition, and it is prone to gastrointestinal peristalsis, which leads to constipation. If the baby eats too much protein, too little dregs, or too much calcified casein, it may lead to constipation and so on. When the baby has constipation, Ma Bao can use massage, glycerin suppository and soap bar to help the baby's intestinal peristalsis and solve the constipation problem.
