Ankita MehtaMom of a 10 yr 8 m old girl6 years agoA. 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.
