Hello, Fruit and vegetables are rich in natural fibre, which have properties which both prevent and relieve intestinal friction. They help to regulate
glucose levels, reduce
cholesterol and reduce the risk of acquiring
colon cancer as well. Obviously if the baby is still on purees, then try to use these in them as much as possible.
Natural Laxatives
Add some boiling water to a number of dozen prunes and allow to soak over-night. Feed this compound by tea-spoon to the baby. This can also be done with chopped apples. Prune and apple juice are a super home remedy for
constipation in babies. Apricots, peaches, plums, pears, peas and spinach can also be tried. Babies can respond to different foods in their own way.
If you are still
breastfeeding your baby, then this will obviously have a knock-on effect to how your baby feels. Drink six or seven glasses of mineral water every day, and complement these with some natural laxatives, such as apple or prune juice.
To gain an understanding of your baby’s intestinal habits, introduce one food-type at a time to their diet. Unripe bananas, for instance, are a common cause of constipation; their skin needs to be almost black before babies can digest them properly. Eggs promote a binding effect in the large intestine and should be avoided until the baby is at least twelve months old.
