What should I do if my baby has poor digestion?

Many babies will get sick due to various reasons during their growth process, which is a headache for many parents. It is especially troublesome when the child has poor digestion. Not only will the child not want to eat, but in serious cases, he will also have diarrhea or fever. These should attract the attention of parents. So, what should we do if the baby has poor digestion? Let’s take a look.

If your baby has indigestion, you should extend the time between feedings and reduce the number of feedings appropriately. Breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to adjusting their diet, not eating too much at one time and eating small meals frequently. Do not eat greasy and difficult to digest food, do not change the mixing ratio of milk powder at will, and do not change milk powder at will before six months.

1. Observe the baby's condition to see if the indigestion is caused by illness or if it is caused by what food he ate. This must be analyzed.

2. If indigestion is caused by illness, you need to find out the root cause and take good care of it.

3. If the baby has eaten food that is difficult to digest, try to let him eat porridge and other easily digestible foods in the future.

4. Let your baby rest more. Your baby can recover with enough sleep.

5. Eat some digestive aids to speed up your baby's gastrointestinal digestion.

Diet therapy

1. Take carrot soup, 2-3 times a day, 2-3 tablespoons each time; take applesauce (take an apple, wash, peel and core it, cut it into small pieces, put it in a bowl, add a small amount of sugar, steam it, and after steaming, mash it into a paste and take it).

Because carrots and apples contain pectin, they can form stools and absorb harmful substances in the intestines, helping to cure diarrhea.

2. Add fish protein powder to rice soup and take 5 grams per day, divided into 1-2 times. Babies over six months old can take fish protein powder porridge or soft noodles. Because fish protein powder has high protein quality, low fat content, and no lactose, it is particularly beneficial for infants with diarrhea. Mild diarrhea usually recovers within 3-5 days of taking the medicine.

The above is about what to do when the baby has poor digestion. In normal times, we must also do a good job of preventing the baby from having poor digestion. Not only should the baby have a reasonable diet, but also a regular life. When the baby has abnormal conditions, timely conditioning is required. If the situation is serious, you must go to the hospital for treatment.
