What to do if a three-month-old baby has a bad stomach

Babies' poor gastrointestinal function is a common problem for parents. Poor gastrointestinal health can easily affect children's absorption of food, causing them to become thinner day by day. Taking medicine for a young baby is not good for the baby's body and may easily cause some side effects or drug dependence. It is better to adopt diet therapy, which is the simplest and most effective method, but I don't know how to do diet therapy. The following are common dietary treatments for babies with poor gastrointestinal function.

1. Stewed Hen with Chestnuts

Ingredients: 500 grams of chestnuts, 1 free-range hen (rural area) weighing about 1000 grams, 3 spoons of cooking wine, 3 slices of ginger, 1500 milliliters of water, and appropriate amount of salt.

Preparation method: First slaughter the hen, remove the feathers, cut open the abdomen to remove the intestines and internal organs, cut off the claws, wash, and cut into pieces for later use. Wash the chestnuts, cut them, put them into boiling water and cook for 2 minutes until the mouth cracks and the body swells, then peel off the skin. Finally, put chicken pieces, chestnuts, ginger slices, cooking wine and water into the pot and bring to a boil. Then simmer over low heat for 2 hours. After the chicken is tender, add an appropriate amount of salt.

Efficacy: Eating hen meat and chestnuts together can help strengthen the spleen and kidneys. It can be eaten by patients with chronic gastroenteritis, frequent urination due to kidney deficiency, and weak waist and legs, and the therapeutic effect is significant.

2. Longan and Pine Nut Soup

Ingredients: 40 grams of longan, 20 grams of pine nuts, and appropriate amount of white sugar.

Preparation method: Shell the longan and wash it, wash the pine nuts, put them both into a pot, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, add sugar, and turn off the heat after about 10 seconds.

Efficacy: Longan meat can nourish the spleen and stomach, nourish blood and calm the mind, benefit the heart and replenish qi. Pine nuts can nourish yin, extinguish wind and moisten the lungs. Eating them together can better nourish the stomach.

The above are some common and easy-to-make dietary treatment methods for babies with poor gastrointestinal function. Parents should pay attention to their baby's diet. They should not overeat when something tastes good, or let the baby go hungry when something tastes bad. They should also chew slowly and eat less or even no irritating food. Babies with poor stomachs are particularly sensitive and can be managed by feeding them small but frequent meals.
