Infant constipation ayurvedic treatment - #2779

Anonymously

My 8-month-old baby has been struggling with constipation for a few weeks now. He strains a lot during bowel movements, and sometimes it takes two to three days for him to pass stool. I’m looking for infant constipation Ayurvedic treatment options that are safe and gentle for babies. Does Ayurveda recommend any herbal remedies or oils for infant constipation? I’ve heard about using castor oil or fennel water, but I’m not sure how safe or effective these are for such a young child. Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments or massages that can help with bowel movement for infants? Also, are there dietary recommendations for infants that align with Ayurveda? My baby has recently started solids, and I’m wondering if certain foods could be causing the constipation. Lastly, how can I prevent this from becoming a recurring issue? If anyone has experience with infant constipation Ayurvedic treatment, I’d love to hear what worked for your baby.

Doctors’ responses

For an 8-month-old baby experiencing constipation, Ayurveda recommends gentle, safe treatments. Remedies: Castor Oil: Add 1–2 drops of pure castor oil to the baby’s food or formula. It acts as a mild laxative. Fennel Water: Boil ½ teaspoon of fennel seeds in a cup of water, strain, and cool. Give 1–2 teaspoons to the baby. Fennel improves digestion and relieves gas. Abhyanga (Massage): Massage the baby’s abdomen in circular motions using warm sesame or coconut oil. This stimulates bowel movements. Dietary Adjustments: Introduce fiber-rich foods like mashed pears, prunes, or papaya. Avoid constipating foods like bananas or rice cereal. Ensure adequate hydration with small amounts of water between meals. Prevention: Introduce new solids gradually. Avoid processed or refined baby foods. Keep the baby active with supervised tummy time. If constipation persists or worsens, consult a pediatrician or Ayurvedic practitioner. Regular bowel movements can be restored with consistent care and dietary adjustments.
