Exercises to Help Relieve Constipation
When my boys are struggling with constipation, a few simple exercises really help get things moving, here’s some you can try:
For Babies (0-1 year):
Bicycle Legs: Lay your baby on their back and gently move their legs in a cycling motion. This helps stimulate their bowels and can relieve constipation.
Tummy Time: Placing your baby on their tummy can help relieve gas and stimulate bowel movements. Supervise them closely and make it a fun experience with toys and interaction.
Gentle Belly Massage: Rub your baby’s belly in a clockwise motion to help move things along in their digestive tract.
For Toddlers (1-3 years):
Squatting Play: Encourage your toddler to squat while playing, as this position helps with bowel movements.
Active Play: Activities like running, jumping, and dancing can stimulate digestion and relieve constipation.
For Preschoolers and Older Kids (3-7 years):
Yoga Poses: Simple yoga poses like "Happy Baby" (lying on the back and holding the feet) and "Child’s Pose" can help ease constipation.
Walking and Running: Regular walks or runs around the park can stimulate digestion and keep things moving.
