What should I do if my child has poor absorption?

A child's absorption ability is an important factor in the healthy growth of a child. Whether a child's absorption ability is good or bad is the key to whether the child grows healthily or unhealthily. If children do not absorb well, they will suffer from malnutrition, but how should we improve their absorption ability? What should we do if children do not absorb well?

Causes of indigestion in children

1. The food given is not easy to digest: Parents should gradually change the diet from liquid to semi-liquid (such as rice soup, paste food, porridge) and solid food (such as soft rice, bread, etc.) according to the different age characteristics of the children. Infants under 3 months old have different digestive juices from adults and are less able to digest starch, so special attention needs to be paid. For infants and young children under 2 years old, the added supplementary food must be rotten, fine and soft. For example, the vegetables can be chopped, mashed and made into vegetable puree. For infants and young children aged 2-3 years old, because they already have 16-20 deciduous teeth, the food can be a little coarser.

2. Giving too much new food: Some children eat shrimp for the first time and think it tastes good, so they eat a lot at once, resulting in indigestion. Therefore, when parents let their infants and young children try a new food, they should let them adapt slowly.

3. Unreasonable food combination: After the baby is 4 months old, parents need to add supplementary food other than milk to the child. Pay attention to giving the child a nutritionally balanced diet, which includes nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and cellulose. Grain is the most basic food, while meat, fish, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. are all necessary for the body.

Improving children's absorption capacity can help them grow up healthily. When children's absorption capacity improves, they can absorb more nutrients better. Only more nutrition can help your baby grow up healthily. Finally, I wish all the children in the world are healthy.
