Second, the symptoms of poor gastrointestinal function in babies

Since babies cannot express themselves, we can only judge their symptoms through observation:

1. Loss of appetite. If you find that your baby has abnormal eating habits, such as loss of appetite, or even vomiting and regurgitation of milk, it proves that there is a problem with the baby's stomach and intestines.

2. Bad breath. When the stomach and intestines are not in good condition, food will be retained in the esophagus and difficult to be discharged, which will cause symptoms of bad breath.

3. Abdominal pain. When a baby has abdominal pain, he or she will cry because he or she cannot express it. Therefore, you should pay more attention when the baby cries unreasonably.

4. Foul-smelling stool. Under normal circumstances, the baby's stool will be easier to pass. When there is constipation or foul-smelling stool, it is likely due to gastrointestinal discomfort.

Third, what should babies eat if they have stomach problems?

When your baby has a bad stomach, you should pay special attention to his diet and eat more foods that are good for the stomach:

1. Increase vitamins. You can eat foods and fruits high in vitamins, such as carrots, apples, pasta, etc. These can supplement the body's nutrition and effectively promote gastrointestinal function.

2. Easily digestible food. Easily digestible foods can help balance the diet, protect the stomach and intestines, and supplement the protein and heat energy needed by the body, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, fish, lean meat and other foods.

3. Porridge. As we all know, porridge is the best medicine during illness. It can not only nourish the stomach and spleen, but also help digestion. You can feed your baby millet porridge, corn porridge, lotus seed porridge, and yam porridge, which can keep out the cold, provide nourishment, and cure diseases.
