What should babies eat if they have a bad stomach?

Some mothers are confused as to why their babies still have poor stomachs and frequent diarrhea even after breastfeeding. If the baby has physiological diarrhea, it is easy to have diarrhea. The baby will recover after his stomach and intestines adapt, so there is no need to worry. But there are other reasons, such as a cold stomach, the mother eating cold or greasy food, unclean nipples, etc., which may cause gastrointestinal problems in the baby. These reasons must be checked one by one to find out the causes. Babies who can add complementary foods can eat egg yolks, rice porridge, apple puree, carrot puree, etc. Some babies’ stools become formed after adding complementary foods.

1. Eggs

Egg yolk milk: After the eggs are cooked, take the egg yolk, add milk or water and stir until it becomes a paste and then it is ready to eat.

Egg yolk mashed potatoes: Add cooked egg yolk into the mashed potatoes and mix well. Add appropriate amount of seasoning and steam for 5 minutes.

Egg custard: Beat a raw egg into a bowl, add a small cup of boiling water and appropriate amount of salt, sesame oil, MSG, etc., stir, then put it in a pot and steam for 5 minutes. The most suitable time is when the eggs are just solidified and tender. If they are steamed for too long, they will become honeycomb-like and the egg custard will be hard and difficult to digest.

4. Rice porridge

Millet, rice, and sorghum can all be used, but it is best to soak them in water for 1 hour before cooking so that they will become soft when cooked. The consistency of the porridge can range from thin to thick depending on the size of the child and his or her digestive ability. For example, if you want vegetable porridge, cook the porridge until it is soft. Before turning off the heat, add the washed and chopped vegetable hearts and cook for about 10 minutes before eating. Green vegetables can be chosen from spinach, cabbage, rapeseed and so on.

The baby's stomach and intestines are relatively fragile. If there is any problem, do not use medicine indiscriminately. Some parents will feed their babies some herbal tea when they have a sore throat or constipation. However, they do not know that this is very harmful to the stomach and intestines and can easily make the baby weak and prone to illness. Therefore, only diet therapy is relatively safe and has no side effects from drugs.
