Constipation isn’t fun for anyone-babies included! Here are some natural remedies to help your baby when they just can’t go:
Food: If your baby is on solids, think of the “P” foods for poop. Try adding cooked plums (prunes), pears, peaches and peas to baby’s diet. Meanwhile, avoid bananas, oats, and potatoes as these can be constipating.
Magnesium: Give baby a warm bath with 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup of Epsom salts. Use magnesium spray on baby’s feet or inner thighs. Mamas, your magnesium levels matter too if you’re breastfeeding. Take 200-400 mg of magnesium a day and it just may help your baby stay regular.
Exercise and Massage: Baby massage, bicycle legs, and tummy time all help release gas bubbles and stimulate the bowels.
Infant Probiotic: The Mama Natural Infant Probiotic with 10 strains is great for your baby’s gut. You can also apply it directly to the nipple if breastfeeding.
Homeopathy: Homeopathic remedies can be effective for baby’s tummy troubles.
Always consult with a doctor before trying any remedies. Keep your baby comfortable and regular with these natural tips!
