Q.

My child is 2.5 months old, he finds a lot of trouble in massing the motion, i do apply castor oil in his anus then only he does pass with some efforts. Until he passes he doesn’t sleep and stays irritated and specially this happens more during night hours. I can not do this every time, It should pass normally. I feel very much stressful having him facing constipation at this younger age. Please help. Thank you.

A. hello mam, generally, constipation is caused by inadequate intake of fluids. But as your baby is 2 months old,it is best to breastfeed him as per his needs to keep him hydrated and to prevent or cure constipation. you can give warm water bath to your baby. or take a towel , damp it in warm water and wring out excess water from it,then give warm compress on your baby's stomach with the towel. you can give massage to your baby ,it helps to ease bowel movements. For example- give massage on stomach in clockwise direction with firm hands. Slowly walk your fingertips on lower part of abdomen from one side to other side direction. Draw an oval with your fingertips below your baby's belly button. Move your baby's legs in cycling motion. Hope all these work for your baby.
