4 Homemade recipes to loosen the intestine in the baby

Constipation is a common problem in both breastfeeding babies and those who take infant formula, the main symptoms being the bulging of the baby's belly, the appearance of hard and dry stools and the discomfort the baby feels until he can do it poop.

In addition to careful feeding, it is also very important to give the baby plenty of water, so that his intestines are well hydrated and allow a better flow of feces. See how much water your baby needs according to age.

1. Fennel tea

Fennel tea should be made using only 100 ml of water for 1 shallow tablespoon of fennel. The water should be heated until the first air bubbles start to appear, then turn off the fire and add the fennel. Let the mixture rest for 5 to 10 minutes, strain and offer to the baby after cooling, without adding sugar.

For babies under 6 months of age, you should speak to your pediatrician before using this tea.

2. Papaya papaya with oats

For babies older than 6 months, a good option is to offer 2 to 3 tablespoons of crushed papaya mixed with 1 tablespoon of rolled oats. This mixture is rich in fibers that will help the baby's intestine to function, and can be offered 3 to 5 times a week, according to the improvement in the frequency and consistency of the baby's poop.

3. Avocado baby food with Banana Nanica

The good fat from the avocado facilitates the passage of feces through the baby's intestine, and the banana fibers accelerate intestinal transit. This baby food should be made with 2 tablespoons of avocado and 1/2 a ripe banana, mixing the two mashed fruits to offer the baby.

4. Pumpkin and Broccoli Baby Food

This baby food can be used for baby's lunch. You should cook the pumpkin and mash it in the baby's plate with a fork, adding 1 finely chopped steamed broccoli flower. An additional help is given by placing 1 teaspoon of extra turning oil over all the baby's lunch food.
