What to do if children have poor absorption

Children's poor absorption and digestion can easily lead to malnutrition. If nutrients cannot be absorbed into the body, the development will naturally not keep up. Parents must pay enough attention to this and should start with daily eating habits to provide a good eating environment for their babies. Now let’s find out what to do if children have poor absorption.

Give your baby more fish, shrimp and meat, and less pork and beef. Compared with other meats, fish and shrimp are rich in nutrients and easier to digest and absorb. When adding meat to the diet of babies with poor digestion, they should eat more marine fish, shrimps, etc. It is best to eat them at noon, and be careful not to eat too much at one time.

Let your baby eat more stewed vegetables. Green vegetables that are relatively soft are beneficial for baby's digestion and absorption, such as cauliflower stewed with meat, scrambled eggs with zucchini, stir-fried rapeseed, etc. Vegetables are rich in fiber and can promote gastrointestinal motility and enhance the baby's digestion and absorption function.

Massage your baby's belly frequently. The specific method is to gently massage the baby's abdomen half an hour after meals every day. Press the baby's abdomen with the palms of both hands, massage clockwise for forty to fifty times, and then massage counterclockwise for thirty to forty times. This can promote the baby's gastrointestinal motility and speed up digestion and absorption.

Try to prevent your baby from crying during mealtimes. Crying while eating will affect the baby's normal eating, and over time it will disrupt his normal digestion and absorption function. On the contrary, if the baby is in a good mood while eating, it will increase gastric acid secretion and promote digestion and absorption.

5. Give your baby water in time. Drinking a small cup (about 100ML) of boiled water half an hour before meals can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and increase appetite. Give your baby a small glass of water half an hour after a meal to promote gastric acid secretion and speed up food digestion and absorption.

The above are the treatment methods for children's poor absorption. If your baby also has poor digestion, loss of appetite, and poor absorption, you need to actively improve it. You can also let your baby do more exercise to strengthen his body. Parents who want to regulate their body through medication must choose Chinese patent medicine with relatively small side effects.
