How to regulate dampness and heat in the baby's body

We all know that with the arrival of spring, the earth warms up, the spring air rises, and the humidity becomes heavier, which will cause many diseases. Especially for babies, their resistance is the lowest, and they are most susceptible to various diseases. Many babies will have dampness and heat in their bodies in spring. So, how to regulate the dampness and heat in babies' bodies? The editor will give you a detailed introduction below.

The humidity in spring is too heavy, and babies can easily become drowsy and lack energy. They are also prone to gastrointestinal discomfort, skin diseases, respiratory diseases, etc. Therefore, detoxification and dehumidification are a major project in spring baby care.

Four tips to teach you how to test your baby's body moisture

The first trick: Check your baby's mental state when you get up

If your baby is particularly tired, cannot wake up, and has no energy when you wake up every morning, or looks like he is wearing wet clothes, feels uncomfortable all over, and is too lazy to move... then you can be sure that there is dampness in his body.

Tip 2: Look at your stool when you go to the toilet

After your baby goes to the toilet, you can observe his stool. Is it stuck to the toilet? Even a tank of water can't flush it away. If it is inconvenient to observe the toilet, you can also observe the toilet paper. Normally, one or two pieces of paper are enough. If three or five pieces of paper cannot be wiped clean after repeated wiping, it also means that there is moisture in the body.

In addition, the color and shape of the stool can also help determine whether there is moisture in the body. Normal stools are golden yellow and banana-shaped, but few people have this healthy stool nowadays. When there is dampness in the body, the stool will be blue in color, loose and soft without any shape, and there will always be a feeling of incomplete excretion. Over time, the toxins produced by stool retention accumulate in the body, causing a variety of diseases.

The third trick: look at the color of the baby’s tongue coating.

"The tongue is the sprout of the heart and the external sign of the spleen." The tongue can sensitively reflect the baby's physical condition. When cleaning your baby's mouth, you can carefully observe the baby's tongue to see the color and thickness of the tongue coating.

A healthy tongue is pale pink and moist, with a thin, white and clear layer of tongue coating on the surface, with moderate dryness and wetness, neither slippery nor dry. If the tongue does not meet these indicators, it means that there is a problem with the body's functions. If the tongue coating is white and thick, and looks smooth and moist, it means that there is cold in the body; if the tongue coating is rough or very thick, yellow and greasy, it means that there is damp heat in the body; if the tongue is red and has no coating, it means that the body is already hot to a certain degree and has damaged the yin.

Tip 4: The baby’s appetite decreases and his appetite is poor.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, heavy humidity in spring causes the spleen and stomach to regress, so people will feel poor appetite and loss of appetite. I fed the child noodles, rice, and porridge alternately, but he refused to eat.
