What to do if your one-year-old baby has indigestion

Many babies will experience indigestion during the process of growing up, especially for babies who are fed with milk powder. This situation is also a phenomenon that many parents are particularly worried about. It is especially harmful to the baby. It will not only affect the baby's appetite and nutrition, but also affect the baby's growth. Therefore, we must pay attention to the child's condition. What should I do if my one-year-old baby has indigestion?

1. Adjust your diet

If a breastfed child develops diarrhea, do not wean the child off breastfeeding easily. At this time, you can shorten the time of each feeding and let the child eat the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the milk, because the first half of breast milk mainly contains substances such as protein. The second half of breast milk mainly contains substances such as fat, which is difficult to digest, so this part of milk can be squeezed out and poured away. If the child is fed with cow's milk, it is not appropriate to feed him whole milk, but skimmed milk. You can make skim milk at home. After the milk is boiled and cooled, use chopsticks to pick up the layer of milk skin on the surface and throw it away. Repeat this three times and you will have skim milk. However, once the baby's diarrhea improves, it is not advisable to feed skimmed milk to avoid malnutrition.

2. Food to stop diarrhea

1. To make the scorched rice soup, grind the rice flour or milk cake into powder, fry until it turns yellow, then add appropriate amount of water and sugar, and then cook it into a paste. When rice flour is added with water and then heated, it becomes dextrin. Dextrin is easily digestible, and its carbonized structure has a good adsorption and antidiarrheal effect.

2. Carrot soup Carrot is an alkaline food. The pectin it contains can promote stool formation and absorb bacteria and toxins on the intestinal mucosa. It is a good antidiarrheal food. The preparation method is: wash the carrots, cut them in half, remove the stems, then cut them into small pieces, add water and boil them until they are soft, then filter out the residue with gauze, and finally add water (500 grams of carrots to 1000 grams of water) and sugar and bring to a boil.

Generally, when a baby has indigestion, the above-mentioned methods can be used to regulate it. In addition, when the baby's condition becomes serious, you must pay attention to replenishing the child with water to prevent the child from becoming dehydrated. When the child's condition becomes serious, you must take the child to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid more serious symptoms.
