4 tips to relieve the disquecia
The disquecia is also known as false constipation. Newborns, or nursing babies, tend to make bowel movements often. In fact, these depositions will be one of the things that you will be more attentive as new parents.
We like to see that our little one pees and poops often, since this means that he is eating well. Another way to control it is weight, although much less reliable. Babies so small often vary in weight and if you are obsessed with controlling your weight every day, you may be surprised to lose weight when in reality it is not so. It is for this reason that the most advisable thing is to never obsess over weight and to see its evolution at least weekly.
Why do newborns make stools so often?
Infants are born with the well-known gastro-colic reflex. It is a reflex that appears when they eat and that initiates all intestinal transit to regulate inputs and outputs. In babies who have little time, they are often activated every time they eat. That's why they make so many bowel movements a day. As the months go by, but, this reflex is regularized and will no longer be every time they ingest breast milk.
But why does my son have a hard time making these stools?
If your baby seems to have a hard time making these stools, it turns red and squeezes without much success, but once you get the stool out they are liquid; It can have what is known by the infant's dyschezia. It is not harmful at all, and it simply happens because to eliminate the stool it is necessary to relax the anal sphincter after squeezing. This process of coordination of the 2 movements: first squeeze, then relax, is not so easy. Therefore, it is simply an element of immaturity that you will learn over time and you do not have to worry.
But what can I do to help you?
Before the few depositions that a baby can make and seeing him squeeze and suffer, we dads can get very nervous. That is why we leave you a series of tips to follow to help your little one.
1. Do not be tempted to "help" by stimulating it with a thermometer. It will be, in the long run, counterproductive because you will accustom yourself to wait for the stimulation to go to the bathroom.
2. If you give formula, do not be tempted to change the formula for one that has more fiber or is intended for constipated babies. Remember that your baby when he does the poop is liquid so favoring it even more can be counterproductive (and facilitate dehydration especially in these hot months)
3.Add massages to your daily routine. The massage is very positive to promote intestinal transit. It also helps you relax.
4. At the moment you see that the baby is crying and uncomfortable, applies thermotherapy to relieve pain and promote intestinal transit. The local heat will help you carry out the expulsions. In addition, the aromatherapy of the Wawa Band will also help to promote relaxation with what will facilitate even more the new expulsions.
