What causes indigestion in children?

In life, our mothers may not give their children proper diet, which may cause indigestion in their children. Generally, children's indigestion is probably caused by eating too greasy food or eating too much seafood, so we recommend that mothers pay attention to their children's balanced diet and properly perform physical exercises for their children.

Babies suffer from indigestion because of weak gastrointestinal function, which can also be said to be due to their physical constitution. You can let your baby eat more porridge that is easy to digest and absorb, or you can give your baby probiotics, which will help the baby digest and absorb. If the baby is older, you can let the baby exercise more, which will help improve his physical fitness. We should help children develop good hygiene habits, especially those who like to eat snacks. They should rinse their mouths after meals and brush their teeth in the morning and evening.

1. The food given is not easy to digest. Since infants and young children have poor digestive abilities, parents should feed their children foods that they can digest and absorb and are willing to accept based on their age characteristics. On the one hand, parents should gradually change their children's diet from liquid to semi-liquid (such as rice soup, paste food, porridge, etc.) and solid food (such as soft rice, bread, etc.) according to the different age characteristics of their children.

2. Giving too much new food. For example, some children eat shrimps for the first time and think they taste good, so they eat a lot at once, resulting in indigestion. Therefore, when parents let their infants and young children try a new food, they should let them adapt slowly. Don’t give too much at one time. Increase the amount gradually to allow the child to adapt.

3. Improper food combination. After the baby is 4 months old, parents need to add complementary foods other than milk to the child and pay attention to giving the child a nutritionally balanced diet. Children's growth requires a variety of different nutrients, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, cellulose and other nutrients. Food is the most basic, but meat, fish, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. are also necessary for the body. Therefore, parents need to rationally match the food they give their children to achieve diversity and avoid food being too monotonous.

This article introduces the causes of indigestion in children in detail and recommends that mothers pay attention to this cause. In life, you should pay attention to your child's balanced diet, try to avoid your child eating too much greasy and fried food, and let your child eat some vegetables, fruits and other foods containing fiber appropriately.
