What should I do if my seven-month-old baby has poor digestion?

There are quite a few people born in the 1980s who have become parents in society today. However, many of them lack experience in how to take care of children. Once a child has any problem, their first thought is to take the child to the hospital for examination. For example, if a child suffers from indigestion, many parents will become very worried and don’t know what to do. So let’s take a look at what to do if a seven-month-old baby has poor digestion?

Diarrhea is the most common gastrointestinal disease in infants and young children. Babies at this stage are in a period of dietary transition and are more likely to suffer from diarrhea. Some babies change from exclusive breastfeeding to mixed feeding, some babies start to add complementary foods, and some babies are weaned because their mothers return to work. These changes will cause the baby's gastrointestinal tract to be uncomfortable and adjusted, and physiological diarrhea may occur.

Physiological diarrhea is not a disease. Its symptoms include: no more than 8 bowel movements per day, and not much bowel movement each time; although the stool is unformed, it does not contain much water; the stool has no special odor, and may contain green stool and curds; the baby is in good spirits, eats normally, has no fever, and has no abdominal distension or pain. If it is physiological diarrhea, do not give your baby any medicine, especially antibiotics, as this will cause gastrointestinal flora imbalance in the baby and cause disease. The countermeasures for physiological diarrhea are: if it is caused by switching from breast milk to formula milk, you can reduce the amount of formula milk, add rice flour appropriately, or change the formula milk; if it is caused by adding complementary food, you can reduce the amount of complementary food or stop adding complementary food; some babies will have physiological diarrhea after taking cod liver oil, and you also need to stop taking it at this time

Regarding the question of what to do if a seven-month-old baby has poor digestion, I believe everyone has a certain understanding after reading the above content. If a child suffers from indigestion or food accumulation, and it is only a minor problem, parents do not need to worry too much. They can prepare some liquid food for the child and let the child exercise regularly to promote gastrointestinal digestion and absorption.
