What should I do if my one-year-old baby has poor digestion?

The stomachs of babies are relatively sensitive, especially after one year old, their diet is no longer mainly based on milk powder and breast milk. If they are fed improperly, they are particularly prone to poor digestion. Babies with poor digestion are always prone to diarrhea and stomach pain, which makes it impossible to better absorb the nutrients in food, which also has a great impact on the baby's growth. We need to master the methods to regulate them in time. Let’s learn what to do if a one-year-old baby has poor digestion.

What should I do if my one-year-old baby has poor digestion?

1. First of all, if your baby has diarrhea, do not give him antidiarrheal drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs or other antibiotics casually. Try to reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach and restore their normal functions. Many times I would put a few Dinggui navel patches on my children. It is made from the effective ingredients extracted from three natural plants, cloves, cinnamon and piper longum, which are both Chinese medicinal and edible. Made of pure Chinese herbal ingredients, it is safe to use and does little harm to the baby's spleen and stomach. Moreover, the Dinggui Umbilical Patch is directly applied to the navel, which can quickly relieve the child's abdominal pain, loose stools and other symptoms, achieve the purpose of strengthening the spleen and warming the middle, dispelling cold and stopping diarrhea, effectively treat children's diarrhea and indigestion, and restore children's healthy stomach.

2. The second very effective method is massage. The condition of diarrhea in infants and young children is relatively simple, so you can rub the baby's navel and abdomen counterclockwise, which can also effectively relieve the baby's diarrhea. However, when mothers give their children abdominal massage at home, they must pay attention to the technique and strength, and the massage intensity must be moderate. It is best to learn from the doctor and then go home to massage your baby.

3. You can also give your baby some carrot soup. Carrots are alkaline foods and contain pectin, which can promote stool formation and absorb bacteria and toxins. In short, when caring for a baby with diarrhea, just follow the principle of eating small meals frequently, from less to more, and from thin to thick.

4. Finally, mothers should pay attention to adjusting the feeding method according to the child's condition. No matter what feeding method was used originally, the diet should be appropriately reduced after diarrhea. The duration of each breastfeeding session should be shortened; for mixed feeding, stop feeding milk or other milk substitutes and feed only breast milk; for formula-fed babies, the amount of milk should be reduced and diluted with water or rice soup, or the baby can be fed rice soup alone, because rice soup is easier to digest and absorb than milk; for babies who have been fed complementary foods, the amount should also be reduced or stopped temporarily.

Precautions

For babies with diarrhea, proper medication and dietary adjustment are very important, so new mothers should not worry when their babies have diarrhea, and should also protect their babies' tender gastrointestinal tract from further invasion.

The above is an introduction to what to do if a one-year-old baby has poor digestion. After understanding it, we know that if such symptoms occur, don’t rush to give the baby medicine. After all, some medicines can cause great stimulation to the stomach and intestines. Go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and make adjustments to the diet. You can give the baby some porridge or pasta that is easy for the baby to eat, and don’t feed too much at one time. You can eat small meals frequently.
