Massaging is good

Lately, I noticed that Nisha is not going poo poo everyday. I started giving her more water in between her feeds. It helps but not always......

My frens shared that she used to massage her son. Her son constipates and at times it takes many days too. But after the massage, he goes poo poo within 2 hrs. She suggested me to try it if Nisha doesn't go for the day.

The massage is done from upper part of the tummy going downwards, covering the bums and thighs. I usually use baby oil on her. It really helps.

Also, massaging the whole body of the child helps to calm them down and is very healthy for the body. Once you have masssaged the body, you can put powder on the body. This helps to ensure the child isn't too cold. If you are only massaging his/her stomach area as i mentioned earlier, then you don't need to put powder. You all should try this :))

How would you deal with kids/babies that are not going to the toilet daily? Pls tell :)))
