Symptoms and prevention of indigestion in one-month-old babies

Indigestion is a common problem for any newborn. Due to the imperfect development of the digestive system of newborns, such as the esophagus, stomach, etc., babies may suffer from indigestion when eating breast milk or formula. Some parents lack knowledge and understanding of indigestion and think that their children will get better on their own, not realizing that malnutrition will occur over time. Today we will learn about the symptoms and prevention of indigestion in one-month-old babies.

If a one-month-old baby has indigestion, his stool will be green, contain bubbles, and be accompanied by curds. The frequency of bowel movements will also increase, and stool will automatically flow out of the anus when the baby farts.

To prevent indigestion in infants, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. All feeding utensils must be sterilized before use, even new ones.

2. If there is no refrigerator, prepare milk powder only when the baby needs milk.

3. If the baby does not finish the milk in the bottle, the remaining milk should be discarded and not kept for the next feeding, because his saliva has contaminated the milk.

4. Even if the baby has not touched the heated milk, it should be thrown away because heated milk is prone to the growth of bacteria.

5. Leave the bottle in the disinfectant until needed (the disinfectant is effective for 24 hours). This way, the bottle will not be contaminated by bacteria in the air. The pacifier can only be taken out after the effective sterilization time has arrived, placed on kitchen paper to dry the water, and then stored in a sterilization jar.

Through the above introduction, we know the symptoms and prevention methods of indigestion in one-month-old babies. Therefore, when a newborn has diarrhea, or green stools accompanied by curds, it indicates that the baby has symptoms of indigestion, and the baby should be supplemented with probiotics in time to help digestion. At the same time, indigestion should be prevented according to the 5 points introduced.
