If you are breastfeeding, it might not be constipation. When did the child last have a bowel movement? Their breast milk might be fully digested. It's probably gas and he might have colic.
We have the same thing. If you are on formula feeding, the baby might not poop for a long time. Straining might be due to gas, not constipation. Help by doing a little massage to release the gas; I also give Sab Simplex for flatulence.
Constipation in infants can be caused by various factors, such as improper diet, insufficient fluid intake, changes in the mother's diet during breastfeeding, or digestive issues.
To help relieve constipation in a 1-month-old baby, you can try the following methods:
1. Keep the baby in an upright position after feeding to help them get rid of gas.
2. Massage the baby's belly clockwise, which can help improve digestion and reduce gas formation.
3. Keep the baby in a warm room, which can help relax the abdominal muscles and improve digestion.
4. Consult a doctor, who may need to prescribe medication or a special formula to improve digestion and relieve constipation.
If the problem persists, it is necessary to consult a doctor for professional advice and to prescribe effective treatment.
We coped with gas issues by giving massages... We would pull the legs up to the tummy... Later on, the child also participates in the massage - relaxing and allowing help willingly.
