Dear [* data('firstname') || 'Healthcare Professional' *],

Parental reassurance goes a long way in the management of infant constipation1, whether it be in the words of reassurance you give, or the information you provide that helps them understand how to manage it.

We have worked closely with healthcare professionals to provide you with some of this month's tools for the management of constipation in children.

A webinar, an infographic, and an article written by a Specialist Paediatric Dietitian.
Kind regards,

The SMA® Professional Team

Bristol Stool Chart: Helping parents understand if their baby is constipated
Sometimes parents may think their child is constipated based on the number of times their baby stools in a day, however, the frequency of stools on its own may not be enough to define constipation and a better understanding is required.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recommended that pregnant women and new mothers be informed on the benefits and superiority of breastfeeding – in particular the fact that it provides the best nutrition and protection from illness for babies. Mothers should be given guidance on the preparation for, and maintenance of, lactation, with special emphasis on the importance of a well-balanced diet both during pregnancy and after delivery. Unnecessary introduction of partial bottle-feeding or other foods and drinks should be discouraged since it will have a negative effect on breastfeeding. Similarly, mothers should be warned of the difficulty of reversing a decision not to breastfeed. Before advising a mother to use an infant formula, she should be advised of the social and financial implications of her decision: for example, if a baby is exclusively bottle-fed, more than one can (400 g) per week will be needed, so the family circumstances and costs should be kept in mind. Mothers should be reminded that breast milk is not only the best, but also the most economical food for babies. If a decision to use a formula is taken, it is important to give instructions on correct preparation methods, emphasising that unboiled water, unsterilised bottles or incorrect dilution can all lead to illness.
