During the first months of life the baby’s intestine is still developing, a fact that leaves the child more likely to suffer from problems. Dry stools, gas , constipation – a name also given to the trapped intestine – are some of the most common problems during this period. Some foods can be real remedies to relieve discomfort.

Routine
The mother and father must be attentive to the child’s routine. It is very important to observe the amount of evacuation of the baby during the day. Newborns usually evacuate on average eight times a day, which gradually decreases to approximately three a day.
Liquids
Water and natural juices can be introduced gradually into the child’s daily life. However, its frequent consumption should only be started after 2 months of the insertion of these foods.
It is important to note that the juice must not contain sugar and, like water, its consumption must be made between meals.
Breast milk
Breast milk should not be left aside after the insertion of food in the child’s daily life. The mother must continue to breastfeed until the age of two. However, it is important that there is no exaggeration.
Variety
With each new meal the baby food can bring different foods so that the child starts to get used to the taste of each one. Presenting different fruits, vegetables and legumes with each new meal can stimulate your taste buds and still bring the benefits of the nutrients found in them.
