Children's gastrointestinal conditioning, these bad habits must be abandoned

Compared with adults, children's gastrointestinal function is relatively fragile and they are prone to gastrointestinal discomfort. In the face of these situations, experts say that they must give up bad habits such as not eating proper meals, adults chewing food and feeding it to babies, eating cold food, eating street grilled lamb, eating hot pot frequently, and drinking carbonated/iced drinks, otherwise the condition will become more serious.

Bad habit 1: Not eating proper meals

It is a bad habit for many babies to not eat their meals properly but keep eating snacks. Such eating habits will lead to a decline in children's gastrointestinal function. There is another situation where people eat delicious food until they are very full, and simply do not eat food that does not taste good, thus continuing to be picky eaters.

In addition, excessive feeding of nutritional supplements to children will cause too much high-protein, high-sugar substances to accumulate in the child's stomach. The child cannot digest them, which will cause abnormal intestinal motility, intestinal cramps, abdominal distension and pain, and will also increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.

Bad habit 2: Adults chewing food and feeding it to babies

Some adults are afraid that their babies may hurt their teeth or have indigestion because they cannot chew the food well, so they chew the food themselves before feeding it to their babies. This will not only hurt the baby's stomach and intestines, but also make it easier for bacteria to be introduced into the baby's body.

There are many bacteria and viruses in the mouths of adults, and chewing and feeding them can easily make children sick because adults have stronger body resistance than babies. Adults may not become sick after coming into contact with some pathogenic bacteria, but babies are likely to suffer from various diseases after contact.

Bad habit 3: Love to eat cold food

Cold drinks, ice cream, and some cool snacks and dishes are all very delicious, and I believe babies will love them. However, these foods are very bad for the baby's stomach.

When too cold food enters the stomach, it quickly causes the blood vessels in the gastric mucosa to contract. The secretion of gastric acid and digestive factors will be affected. Children should not eat cold food.

Bad habit 4: Love to eat street roasted lamb

The aroma of grilled lamb skewers on the street not only makes adults salivate, but babies also want to have a taste. However, the editor says: Don’t feed your baby grilled lamb skewers sold on the street.

Bad habit 5: Eating hot pot frequently

Now is a good time to eat hotpot. Adults often sit together to eat hotpot, and children follow suit. However, babies are not suitable for eating hotpot often, especially shabu-shabu mutton. Children need to eat food that is cooked at high temperature for a long time until it is very soft, and hot pot often involves simply blanching raw ingredients in the soup before eating them, which can easily harm the baby's stomach.

In addition, because the food is hot, children will swallow it without chewing it thoroughly, which affects digestion.

Bad habit 6: Love to drink carbonated/iced drinks

When this drink enters the stomach, it will produce gas, cause burping, cause abdominal bloating, and stretch the stomach. Some adults feel uncomfortable after drinking it. Many children felt obviously uncomfortable after drinking the beverages. Drinking too much iced drinks can cause greater harm, so mothers should give their babies less or even no such drinks.
