Causes of indigestion in children

In life, there are many reasons for children's indigestion, such as mothers' feeding problems. If you do not use the correct feeding method, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal dysfunction in children, or the child's diet is too hot, which will also reduce the child's digestive ability. Therefore, we recommend that mothers should have some understanding of the causes of children's indigestion. I hope you can learn about it.

Children's digestive organs are not fully developed, digestive juices are not secreted enough, enzymes are not fully functioning, the stomach and intestinal mucosa are tender, and the digestive function is relatively weak. If parents cannot feed their children properly and give them everything to eat, the quality and quantity of their diet will be inappropriate, damaging the stomach and intestines and causing gastrointestinal dysfunction. The child will then have symptoms of indigestion (food damage), such as bloating, vomiting, loose stools with a sour and smelly smell, and a large amount of undigested food residue.

In addition to improper feeding, gastrointestinal inflammation, abuse of antibiotics, cold weather, low body resistance and a cold stomach can also cause indigestion. Long-term indigestion in young children will result in insufficient nutrient intake, poor digestion and absorption, and affect growth and development. Especially for children under 3 years old, this stage is the period of most active brain development and is a critical period that determines the level of intelligence. If the digestive function is not improved in time, the absorption of nutrients will be affected, which will inevitably affect brain development and cause lifelong regrets.

Since infants and young children have poor digestive abilities, parents should feed their children foods that they can digest and absorb and that they are willing to accept based on their age characteristics. Parents need to carefully match their children's diet to provide a variety of foods and diversify them to avoid partial eating, picky eating, and monotonous food. Usually, children should be given less snacks, especially before meals. Do not watch TV while eating to distract them. Adults should encourage children more and not criticize them. Adults should also set an example because children have strong ability to imitate.

I believe that after reading this article, mothers should all know that children should eat more vegetables and fruits in their lives, and you should pay attention to your own diet, because the food you eat is too hot, which will cause too much heat in the milk, leading to vomiting in children and reduced digestion ability.
