All these processes are accompanied by painful sensations and general concern. Packs in a child can be determined by the following symptoms:
- there were no defecates for more than 2 days;
- the baby became capricious;
- failure to eat;
- restless sleep or its complete absence;
- frequent foot feed;
- vomiting or vomit urge;
- on the touch stomach became hard;
- the child crying during the feeling of the abdomen;
- lack of gases;
- during defecation, grimace pain appears on the face of the kid.
Package in infant breastfeeding
Children who are completely on breastfeeding, less often suffer from constipation. Many pediatricians are convinced that the kid who feeds on solely mother milk may not be corrected up to 5 days. This suggests that breast milk is fully suitable for a baby. If, besides the lack of defecation, there are no other symptoms, the baby is active and eats good, there is no reason for concern. But if constipation is accompanied by other signs, then measures must be taken:
- consultation to the pediatrician (perhaps the doctor will prescribe medication treatment of constipation in the form of candles or syrup);
- mom should reconsider his diet (the state of the gastrointestinal tract of the baby directly depends on the mother's nutrition, eliminate the fatty food, fast food, carbonated drinks);
- start giving water to the baby (if you do not risk the baby to give the baby, then more often apply it to the chest);
- nursing mom need to use boiled beets, prunes, baked apples, oatmeal and buckwheat porridge.
Packs at the kid on artificial feeding
The baby that feeds on an artificial blend or is on mixed nutrition, should empty at least 1 time per day. If my mother noticed that after the last defecation, a day passed, then the baby should help alleviate the state. Most often, artificials are prescribed microclisms. If the child has an increase in body temperature, then it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor, since there is a possibility of developing intestinal obstruction. If, besides the constipation, other symptoms are not observed, then it is necessary:
- change the artificial mixture (most likely it does not fit the baby);
- be sure to keep water after each feeding;
- stimulate the activity of the baby's legs.
Artificial nutrition must select an exclusively pediatrician based on the presence or absence of an allergic reaction to different components that are part of the mixture.
