How to judge baby's indigestion

Children are the treasures of the family, and they are also the ones who are most likely to have various conditions. Some parents asked that their babies are over one year old and have indigestion. At this time, parents are more anxious and worried, so what are the symptoms of indigestion for babies? The following is a detailed introduction to this issue, because the symptoms of indigestion in babies will inevitably affect their physical health and are very detrimental to their growth. At this time, mothers of babies need to understand the following knowledge and solve it.

Milk lumps in stool

When a baby has indigestion, he or she will have bowel movements 3 to 10 times a day. The stools are yellow or green in color, and are thin, paste-like or egg drop soup-like. They often contain white or yellowish-white curds or foam and have a sour taste. The children were in good spirits, had slight weight loss, and their body temperatures were mostly normal with no obvious symptoms of dehydration. Most of these situations are mild diarrhea caused by improper eating and indigestion. Because the baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, if complementary foods are added too quickly, the type of diet is changed, or sudden changes such as changing milk are made, which exceed the digestive tract's capacity, it will cause digestive dysfunction and cause indigestion and diarrhea.

Bad breath

When infants' milk and food accumulate in the stomach and the baby suffers from indigestion, bad breath often occurs first, especially bad breath and sour mouth in the morning. This is a manifestation of milk and food stagnation, which is clinically called "high-level feeding stoppage." When this happens, you can reduce your food intake or skip one meal to help recover your gastrointestinal function.

Loss of appetite

When a baby has indigestion, he or she will experience loss of appetite, refusal to drink milk, abdominal distension, and hyperactive bowel sounds, and you can hear the stomach "gurgling". Occasionally there is milk spitting up and vomiting. If a child occasionally has a loss of appetite, refuses to eat, or the food does not taste good, do not force him to eat, but let him eat less.

Restless nights

When a baby has indigestion, he may cry irritably, have hot palms, kick off the quilt and clothes, and sweat a lot on his head when he just falls asleep. This is because too much food accumulates in the stomach and intestines, causing internal heat.

Every baby is the most important in the hearts of parents, but babies are very prone to illness. One common disease is indigestion, which first affects physical health. If it does not last long, its growth will also be affected to a certain extent. The above introduces the symptoms of baby indigestion. I hope that parents and friends can learn more about it in life.
