How to deal with poor gastrointestinal absorption in children?

Children's gastrointestinal function is weak, so they cannot fully absorb many foods. How do children get nutrition? Some children's stomachs are defective, so they can't absorb enough nutrients. How to solve this problem for the health of the baby? What should I do if the child's stomach absorption is not good?

For babies with small appetites, refuse snacks

If your baby has a small appetite, stop giving him all snacks and all flavored water. (All kinds of flavored water are bad for your stomach)

Especially within one hour before meals, do not give your baby any snacks.

1. To develop good habits, parents need to be “ruthless”

It is not easy to develop a good habit, and parents sometimes have to be a little "cruel".

For example, if your baby says she doesn't want to eat anymore, don't be afraid that she will be hungry and play the game of "eagle chasing chicken" by chasing her around to feed her.

If the adults have finished their meal, but the baby is not paying attention and has half a bowl of food left, as a parent, you should be ruthless and take it away and wait until the next meal!

Some parents do not approve of this practice, fearing that it will upset their children's stomachs, but in fact it will not have any effect, because bad stomachs are caused by long-term bad habits; for this reason, we must also cultivate the habit of eating well for our babies.

2. Add coarse grains appropriately; eating more coarse grains helps digestion and absorption

Food is becoming more and more refined, which is not good for babies. It will not only pamper the baby's stomach and slow down gastrointestinal motility, but also affect the baby's chewing ability and tooth growth, making the teeth fragile.

Occasionally eating whole grains, such as corn porridge, taro porridge, black rice, millet (the most nutritious and spleen-strengthening), various beans and nuts are good choices;

3. Treat symptoms and regulate the spleen and stomach

There are also many babies who don't eat well because of their poor constitution, which leads to weak spleen and stomach. For such babies, we need to take it slow and regulate the spleen and stomach first, or strengthen the spleen, or stimulate the appetite.

Here is a simple appetizer soup: Boil hawthorn and red dates into soup, drink one cup every day.

Improving the baby's healthy physique is the key to regulating the baby's stomach. Only when the baby is in good health will he have the desire to enjoy food. The second is to increase the variety of food, which will increase the baby's curiosity. As the baby's appetite increases, health will be restored.
