How Can Weight Be Gained And Constipation Treated?
Hi, I have a 9month old who is only in the 5% for weight at 15lbs. She is always constipated and sleeps 13hours at night and 4 hours during the day. I have her eating mainly fruit baby food and breast fed. She has only been interested in drinking about 12-18oz approx of breast milk a day. Should I be waking her up at night and breastfeeding her? How can I help her gain weight and not be constipated all the time ?
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I think your kid is having habitual constipation. I have certain questions and suggestions for you. Questions: 1. Did your kid pass motion or meconium on day one of life? 2. Since how long is the kid constipated? 3. Does the kid have any bleeding along with hard stools? 4. How much milk does the kid consume per day? 5. Does the kid eat fruits and vegetables (fibre diet) appropriately?
