Constipation in newborns is a fairly common occurrence. Do not take constipation lightly, because they can indicate a congenital malformation of the intestine, but you should not panic - in most cases, they are not so scary and solve the problem of glycerin suppositories from constipation. Consider relief from constipation caused by eating disorders or dysbiosis.
In order for the intestines to work properly, at least two components are necessary - a sufficient level of water intake and potassium intake. In newborns, a mother takes care of this, who correctly feeds the child and herself uses enough substances containing potassium. A sufficiently large amount of potassium is found in raisins, dried apricots, figs and prunes. Due to some factors, even under this condition, the child may suffer from constipation, for example, in extreme heat, if the baby sweats heavily, that is, loses water. Water is also excreted in diseases accompanied by fever. The second component - potassium - is the basis of the intestine, its contractile activity. If potassium is not enough, then peristalsis will be weak. And therefore, feces will come out with a delay.
For young children, it is important to follow a diet that will provide all the necessary elements for the digestive system to work. Strengthens chocolate (it is generally not recommended to give it up to three years), cottage cheese, nuts. It is best to give them a sour milk in the form of yogurt, fresh kefir and yogurt. Instead of white bread, a child needs to be accustomed to more healthy rye bread from childhood. Whenever possible, it is worth making a choice in favor of vegetables and fruits. If a child is given kefir and several figs at night , then glycerin suppositories will no longer be needed for constipation.
The treatment of constipation in children in the first year of life should be comprehensive. This may include glycerin suppositories for constipation, drugs with lactulose and dietary measures. Among drugs with lactulose, you should opt for the drugs "Dufalake", "Normase", "Lizalake". In addition to these measures, sufficient physical activity per day is also important. It’s great if the baby visits the pool - exercises in the water train all the muscles of the child’s body.
It is also worth mentioning that glycerin suppositories for a newborn may not help if constipation is caused by another reason. For example, in some children, this function may fade away if the parents shout at the child like "crap one's pants again". Such expressions of discontent should disappear forever from the communication of the mother and the newborn - children are very susceptible to such manifestations of negativity. Similar conditions can occur with urination.
If the child receives hard food with a lack of water, then he has formed fairly dense stool, which can lead to microcracks in the anus. Because of this, the child may deliberately delay the bowel movement, which delay the pain moment. In this case, glycerin suppositories can help with constipation - when melting inside the rectum, glycerin will act as a kind of lubricant and the defecation process will be less painful. Such candles are available in any pharmacy, the most popular Indian candles called "Ameda". You can buy glycerin candles for children, instructions for which indicate the presence of oils in the composition of candles, for example, sea buckthorn. Such candles will also have a healing effect.
The most radical procedure that parents can do at home to eliminate constipation is an enema. Note that setting an enema is more unpleasant for a baby than setting a candle is a matter of seconds. Therefore, in order to deal with constipation, for a start it is worth trying to cope with the problem with the help of candles.
