What can babies eat to soften their stools if they have anal fissures?

When a baby has anal fissures, the stool can be softened by adjusting the diet. It is recommended to consume more foods rich in dietary fiber, ensure adequate water intake, and add some probiotics appropriately to help improve intestinal function.

Anal fissures are usually caused by constipation or hard and dry stools, so it is important to adjust your baby's diet. Feed your baby more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as cooked vegetables (such as carrots, pumpkins, spinach), fruit purees (such as apple puree, pear puree), and whole grains, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and soften stools. Pay attention to your baby's daily water intake. Babies over six months old can drink warm water in addition to breast milk or formula milk, which helps soften stools and avoid dehydration. If your baby's intestinal digestive function is weak, you can add probiotic preparations (such as Bifidobacterium lactis, etc.) to maintain the balance of intestinal flora and help improve digestive function. Easily digestible liquid foods such as millet porridge and clear soup can be used as complementary foods to reduce discomfort and irritation at the site of anal fissures.

Parents should closely observe the baby's bowel movements, develop a habit of regular bowel movements every day, avoid sitting for long periods of time, and use children's laxatives such as lactulose to help relieve constipation according to the doctor's advice when necessary. If the symptoms of anal fissure are severe and persist, you should see a doctor as soon as possible and use ointment or further treatment as prescribed by the doctor. When caring for the baby, you should pay attention to cleaning the anus. You can wash the affected area with warm water and keep it dry to avoid aggravating the anal fissure wound. Reasonable diet and bowel habits are the key to helping your baby recover.
