| When
does Constipation occur in infants? |
| Constipation
occurs when the bowel is not cleared regularly. A bowel
movement 1-3 times a day is considered normal. In infants,
constipation is not unusual, but should resolve quickly.
Commercial laxatives should be avoided: a homemade jelly
using agar instead of gelatine, with 25g of agr to half
a litre of boiling water, adding half a litre of fruit
juice as it cools, is easily taken by a child and helps
keep the bowels loose. Sudden cessation of bowel motions,
especially in a newborn child, should be viewed with concern,
and allopathic advice sought if the condition persists
for more than 24 hours. |
