There are two reasons why a baby may become constipated. 1. The structure of complementary food is not reasonable, and the structure of complementary food with more meat and less vegetables will easily cause insufficient intake of dietary fibre and cause constipation. 2. Constipation is a sign of allergy and there may be foods in the complementary diet that are causing your baby's allergy and the allergens need to be identified.  If allergens are detected in complementary foods, a "dietary avoidance" is required. Parents should ensure that their baby's complementary foods do not contain allergenic foods and that the baby's diet is balanced to ensure normal growth. If no allergens are detected in complementary foods, constipation in babies can be improved as follows:   1. A balanced diet In addition to ensuring a daily milk intake, parents should pay attention to a balanced diet, especially with adequate intake of vegetables and fruits, and a good mix of meat and vegetables. Dietary fibre (e.g. prebiotics) can also be supplemented to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the baby's intestinal tract to protect it from constipation caused by intestinal dysfunction.   2. Increase water intake Some babies are constipated because they drink too little water. These babies' poops are usually dry, hard and dark, or even as bad as sheep faeces, and they struggle to pass poop. In such cases, mothers are advised to increase the amount of water their babies drink, and to drink warm water as appropriate. 3. Let the baby exercise more The less your baby moves, the greater the risk of constipation. Make sure your baby crawls, rolls back and forth or walks a lot during the day, as more movement helps with bowel movements. If your baby is too young, parents can try gently giving your baby leg exercises by pushing his or her knees alternately into the abdomen. This helps to move food through the digestive system, making the digestive tract move better and helping with bowel movements.

Summer, with its bright, sunny days, brings joy but also concerns for new parents about keeping their baby safe and comfortable. This guide to summer baby care focuses on key areas: hydration, appropriate clothing, sun protection, and recognizing signs of overheating.   1. Hydration is paramount during summer. Babies can dehydrate quickly in hot weather, so it's essential to ensure they're getting enough fluids, whether it's through breast milk, formula, or water for older infants. 2. Choosing the right clothing is another crucial aspect. Lightweight, breathable fabrics can help your baby stay cool. A sun hat is a great addition to protect their delicate skin from harmful rays, making summer strolls more enjoyable. 3. Sun protection is a key aspect of summer baby care. Shield your infant from direct sunlight, especially during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). A stroller with a canopy or an umbrella can provide much-needed shade. For babies over six months, consider applying a baby-safe sunscreen for added protection. 4. Lastly, stay vigilant for signs of overheating. The baby develops red cheeks, shortness of breath and irritability.. If you notice these signs, move your baby to a cooler place and remove excess clothing.   By keeping these summer baby care tips in mind, new parents can ensure their little one's safety and comfort, making the season more enjoyable for the whole family.

 1. Genetic Influences Clinical evidence shows that babies born to allergic parents have significantly higher allergy rates than other babies. How do you know if your baby is likely to be born with allergies? Family Allergy Score (FAS) and Total Immunoglobulin E (U C-IgE) of newborn cord blood are two measures developed by modern medicine. Both of them can successfully predict up to 80% of babies' allergy rates, allowing parents to implement early allergy prevention for babies at high risk. 2. Body Growth Allergens can easily enter the bloodstream through the intestine and cause allergic reactions in babies at a young age due to the immune system's incomplete development and the immaturity of the intestinal barrier. This situation will gradually improve as the baby grows older and his or her immune system develops. 3. Mode of Delivery The mother's delivery method also has some allergenic effects on the child. Babies born via normal delivery have a much lower allergy rate than babies born via cesarean section. This is because babies born via cesarean section receive some "Beneficial" flora via the mother's birth canal. It has been clinically shown that the rate of allergy will increase by 23% in cesareans with no family history of allergies and by three times in cesareans with a family history of allergies!   4. Living Conditions As modern urban living spaces become increasingly narrow and confined, airflow in the room suffers, making allergen breeding more likely. Some families who keep pet dogs and cats fail to clean up the dander on time, which can cause allergies in babies. Furthermore, dust accumulation on furniture and home furnishings, as well as mites on bedding and plush toys, can cause allergies in babies.   5. Method of Feeding Some babies are allergic to milk proteins and lactose, making breastfeeding or regular formula feeding impossible. If the parents are unaware of this and continue to feed the baby unsuitable foods, the baby will develop an allergy or worsen an existing allergy.

The baby is drinking powdered milk. Diarrhea does not preclude the cause of milk powder, but it is also not always the cause of milk powder; parents must determine the cause of the baby's diarrhea in order to treat the symptoms. Here we look at the causes of diarrhea in babies who drink milk powder.    1. The bottle is filthy Because the baby's intestinal function and resistance are still developing, it is easy to cause diarrhea in the baby's intestinal tract infection if the bottle cleaning and disinfection work is not done. As a result, the baby's bottle must be cleaned and disinfected promptly after use.  2. The temperature of the brewing milk powder water is incorrect Because different brands of milk powder require different brewing temperatures due to different manufacturing processes, parents must brew according to the temperature specified in the milk powder instructions. The water temperature is too high to denature the protein content in the milk powder, while it is too low to contain bacteria, affecting the baby's intestinal health.  3. The milk powder concentration is incorrect Different brands of milk powder have different requirements, just like water temperature, and parents should follow the proportions indicated on the package to brew. If the milk is too thick or too thin, it will upset the baby's stomach and cause diarrhea. As a result, parents cannot simply do whatever they want with the formula.  4. Allergy to milk protein Because the baby's immune system is still developing, a milk protein allergy may develop after the addition of formula milk.  5. Intolerance to lactose If the baby's body lactase is insufficient, the lactose in the formula intake will not be fully decomposed in the small intestine, and this lactose will enter the large intestine via colonic flora fermentation, resulting in a lot of acid and gas, and the baby will experience symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea.    If your baby is determined to be lactose intolerant or allergic to milk protein, it is necessary to switch to hydrolyzed milk powder or lactose-free milk powder, so parents should make a good identification and not change milk powder for their baby blindly.

As your child reaches one year of age, there are three important changes to be aware of in their diet:   Change #1: Increase intake of staple foods. After the age of one, staple foods and vegetables should be the main meals for your child. Aim for three meals a day consisting of staple foods and vegetables, with a daily consumption of 400-600ml of milk. The rest of the time, focus on providing a variety of staple foods and vegetables to ensure your child gets diverse nutrition.  Change #2: Add a small amount of salt to your child's food. Parents can start adding a pinch of salt to their child's food after the first year. However, if your child can eat food without salt, you can skip this step for a while. It's important to note that natural foods already contain sodium, so incorporating seafood such as oysters, nori, and seaweed can be beneficial for your child's diet. Change #3: Encourage independent eating. It's crucial for children to learn to eat independently. Allowing your child to eat on their own helps them develop an understanding of how much they need to eat at each meal, prevents overeating or undereating, and reduces the chances of picky eating. Don't be concerned about your child getting messy, as the benefits of eating independently, such as fine motor skill development and brain development, outweigh the messiness.   By being aware of these three major changes in your child's diet after they turn one year old, you can ensure they are getting the right nutrition and developing healthy eating habits.

The baby can sleep on the pillow, but only if the baby is more than three months old.  Because the baby's head, neck and shoulder back are at the same level within three months, there is no need to pillow. So let the baby sleep on a flat bed without pillow, which is the most comfortable state. Premature use of pillows for your baby will change your baby's sleeping habits, affect the development of the spine, and easily lead to hunchback. And because the baby is too small to flexibly control the body, it is easy to be covered by the pillow when sleeping, and it is easy to suffer from hypoxia, even suffocation. Three months later, the physiological curvature of the baby's spine gradually forms. At this time, giving the baby a pillow helps to improve the comfort.  At the same time, when the baby sleeps, it helps to keep the respiratory tract smooth and improve the sleep quality. The pillow also helps the baby sleep head shape, prevents head deviation, and is beneficial to the baby's growth and development.

Crying is a baby's instinctive reaction, and babies often express their needs via crying. There are two main reasons for baby's crying, one is a normal physiological reaction, which is called non-pathological crying; the other one is caused by disease, called pathological crying. Reasons for Non-pathological Crying Multiple factors may lead to non-pathological crying, such as the baby feels hungry or thirsty; the diaper gets wet; the baby wants to sleep, etc. It is relatively easy to distinguish such a situation. Generally, when the baby's needs are met, the crying will stop, and the duration of crying will not exceed half an hour. Specifically, the reasons for non-pathological crying are listed as follows. (1) Hunger This kind of crying is mostly before breastfeeding, the baby cries mostly for a long time and shows impatience, his/her head keeps tilting to the sides looking for something, and mouth makes sucking movements. If the mother picks up the baby at this time, he/she will arch the head towards the mother's chest. (2) Thirst Babies with hoarse cries and dry-looking lips and mouths mostly occur after excessive sweating in the summer, dry outdoors in autumn, and after sweating due to excessive clothing in winter. (3) Coldness The baby's face is slightly pale, the body is curled up, and likes to shrink to a warm place when he/she cries.  (4) Heat The baby's face is flushed, there is a lot of sweat on the forehead or in the blanket, and the palms of the hands and feet may become cool because of a lot of sweating. (5) Sleepiness or Tiredness When babies are sleepy or tired, their cries are low without tears, and they do not move their hands and feet as much as usual and close their eyes from time to time. Some babies have their own sleep signals, such as rubbing their eyes, scratching their ears, etc. (6) Wet Diaper The babies' crying is smooth and elongated in tone, and they stop crying as if it remembers something and then cries again, probably because the wet diaper makes the baby uncomfortable.

1. Pay attention to replenish soup in summer In summer, water loss is relatively fast, and sodium, potassium and other minerals will be discharged with sweat, so children should supplement more soup in summer. When supplementing water, it is recommended that children eat more fruits, or supplement with soup, and eat a small number of meals. However, parents should not let babies drink too much boiled water, because excessive water may cause water poisoning. 2. Summer parenting needs protein Children’s physical development is fast, and protein is essential. In the high temperature environment, the loss of protein becomes larger and the decomposition becomes faster, so it is easy for babies to have insufficient protein intake in summer. Mothers should pay attention to supplement protein with milk, eggs, soy products and meat. It is recommended to ensure an appropriate daily intake of milk and eggs. 3. Eat more fruits and grains to supplement vitamins There are more vitamins in coarse grains, and vitamin C, B1 and B2 are the most lost in perspiration. Parents can let babies eat more fruits, coarse grains, and vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamin C, Vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, which are necessary for babies’ healthy growth. 4. Beware of spoiled food Summer food is easy to rot, so the remaining food should be immediately put into the refrigerator. Besides, parents should try to control the amount of cooking as much as possible, so that children can eat fresh vegetables for every meal. Pay attention to cook the food for a second time, because the refrigerator will also produce harmful bacteria, only after thoroughly heated can play a bactericidal effect, otherwise will cause food poisoning, thus leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction of children.  In order to kill bacteria in refrigerated food, the food should be heated to above 75 °C before eating the next day ( the broth must be boiled for 3 minutes ). 5. Be careful of cold drinks Young babies’ greed for cold drinks will have a bad effect on their delicate gastrointestinal, which will make the oral cavity, gastric mucosa vasoconstriction, affecting the local blood supply and gastric juice secretion, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea and loss of appetite and other symptoms. Therefore, parents should pay attention to allowing children to eat an appropriate amount of cold drinks, so as not to cause digestive disorders and nutritional disorders in children.

The baby is more likely to suck or bite their toys when playing with them, which might cause illness. Hence it is of great significance to keep those toys as clean and tidy as possible. Here are some tips to clean baby’s toys.  How to Clean Stuffed Toys Stuffed toys may look cute and appealing, but they are inclined to breed bacteria and contain dust mites. It is a common sense that the more often you wash them, the safer they are likely to be. One thing parents should keep in their mind is to clean stuffed toys after your baby getting sick. So how to clean them properly? Wash stuffed toys with boiling water and put them under the sun for enough time. Boiling water can kill only a limited number of bacteria, so the toys should be dried completely using high-temperature ultraviolet rays to make sure no bacteria has been left. How to Clean Plastic Toys  Before the baby reaches out for a new plastic toy, parents should wash it thoroughly with boiling water and dry it. Besides, parents should always remember to clean the toy with baby wet wipes each time before babies play with it. AIWIBI Baby Wet Wipes, which are featured by hypoallergenic, skin-friendly and alcohol-free, provide the best and meticulous care for babies.

First time being a parent? Changing diapers for newborns sometime may be really messy and troublesome if parents don’t have such experience before. But there is no need to worry about diaper changing. Here are some must-know tips for how to change diapers correctly.   1)Lay your baby flat the bed and take off the dirty diaper. Roll up the dirty diaper and be careful not to touch the inner dirty surface. And then remember to pack the dirty diaper with a plastic bag before throwing it into the trash can, which can effectively prevent odor.   2)Wash your baby’s butt with warm water, pay special attention to the folds of on the butt, as they are more likely to breed bacteria. Parents can use a soft wet towel or baby wipes, such as AIWIBI Baby Wet Wipes, which are skin-friendly, chemicals and alcohol free and will not cause allergic reactions to babies. But remember to wipe from front to back to avoid infection.   3)Raise your baby’s legs carefully and place a new diaper under his body. Parents should note that the side with elastic waistband is on the back. Once you’re sure the direction is correct, lift the front part of the diaper and gently place it over the baby’s stomach.   4)Lift the two magic tapes on both side of the diaper and stick the tape onto the front sticking area of the diaper. Don’t fasten the diaper too tightly or too loosely either. You should be able to put two fingers between the diaper and the stomach if the diaper is worn properly.   5)Readjust the diaper to fit the baby’s body shape well so that all parts of the diaper are close to the baby’s skin and that there are no bumps or folds on the surface of the diaper, otherwise it may cause frictional discomfort and leakage.   Now your baby is ready to go! Practice makes perfect.

1.Suitable for Baby’s Body Shape It is very important that the safe and skin friendly diaper fits the baby’s body shape well, which can not only ensure no urine leakage, but also let the baby move freely. Parents should choose the appropriate size according to their baby’s weight and pay attention to whether there are gaps or ligature marks when the diaper is worn correctly. It is recommended to choose diapers with elastic waistband and stickers, so as to give your baby a better comfort after meals or pooping. 2.Soft Surface Layer  The surface of the diaper is directly attached to the baby’s butt, and it is necessary to choose diapers featured by skin-friendly and soft, so as to prevent babies from the damage of skin for long-time wrapping and fraction. In addition, parents should take the material and touch of the surface layer into consideration when choosing baby diapers. It is recommended to choose diapers made of super tender non-woven fabric to ensure the best comfort for the baby. 3. Excellent Absorbent Layer The problem of diaper rash caused by long-time contact between baby’s urine and skin can be prevented when the baby diaper has excellent absorbency and infiltration. Parents should pay attention to the composition of the absorbent layer when selecting diapers, whether there is enough rapid absorption process. It is recommended to choose diapers equipped with ADL(Additional Diffusion Layer) which is able to diffuse urine rapidly so as to keep the surface of the diaper and baby’s skin dry. 4. Breathable Without Reverse Seepage The baby’s urine and feces are discharged from the body with heat, hence it is necessary to choose good breathable baby diapers so as to discharge stuffy moisture from the diapers and make the air flow. Meanwhile, to enhance the baby's comfort, diapers should also feature non-infiltration properties. It is necessary for the diaper to have a better infiltration and water retaining ability without reverse seepage to keep the baby’s skin dry and clean .
