What to do if your child has constipation due to indigestion

We must have good eating habits in our lives. Eating too much is not a good thing as it will put a burden on our body. Many children will eat very full when they encounter delicious food, and then they may have symptoms of indigestion. The gastrointestinal tract fails to digest the food in time and constipation will occur. Over time, the toxins in the child's body cannot be discharged in time, so constipation cannot be ignored.

1. Symptoms of baby's food accumulation

If the baby shows symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, and yellow complexion, mothers should pay attention, as the baby may be suffering from indigestion. Especially during festivals, babies may accidentally eat too much and suffer from indigestion. What are the obvious symptoms of baby indigestion?

1. I always toss and turn when sleeping, and I also clench my teeth, which leads to poor sleep quality.

2. The baby's appetite, which had been very good recently, has shrunk again, and his appetite is obviously poor.

3. The baby always has stomach discomfort or stomach pain.

4. The baby has a distinct sour smell in his breath, and his tongue coating is thick and white.

No matter how many ways there are to avoid indigestion, none of them is as good as parents controlling their baby’s mouth, that is, daily diet. Three meals at regular times, with regular amounts and balanced meals can help your baby develop more regular eating habits. Especially during the Chinese New Year, do not let your baby eat too much meat to avoid indigestion. Therefore, mothers must avoid:

1. Don’t eat too much greasy food in your three meals. Cold salad, steaming and stir-frying are healthier cooking methods. Avoid eating fried food, choose easily digestible rice porridge, noodle soup, etc. and drink more water.

2. Children should eat at regular times and in regular amounts. They should not be allowed to eat without going to a restaurant, as this will burden their stomachs and intestines and be detrimental to digestion.

3. Among the three meals a day, eat less for dinner. This is not only to avoid indigestion, but also very beneficial to the baby's body. Babies exercise a lot during the day and digest food quickly, but their stomach motility slows down at night and their digestive ability is weaker than during the day. If they eat too much or are too full, they are prone to indigestion. Therefore, don’t eat too much at night. Even if you drink milk, use more water and less milk powder.

In order to avoid indigestion, parents can make millet porridge for their babies for dinner. While it is nutritious, millet porridge is an easy-to-digest liquid food and can effectively avoid indigestion. Wolfberry and jujube can be added to the millet porridge and stewed together to make it more nutritious.
