Symptoms of poor absorption in babies and ways to improve them

If the baby's digestion and absorption are poor, it can easily lead to malnutrition and affect the child's health. Parents should pay attention and adjust their babies in time, such as eating more fish, shrimp and less pork and beef; eating more stewed vegetables; massaging the abdomen frequently; taking children's medicines appropriately; changing educational methods, etc. Below, the editor will specifically talk about the symptoms of poor absorption in babies and how to improve them.

Signs of poor absorption in babies

If the baby has dry stools and vomits, it is possible that he has poor digestion. Symptoms of poor absorption include: the baby's skin is dull and lusterless, the hair is sparse and yellow, the baby eats a lot but the weight gain is not obvious, it may be poor absorption. If the baby is under 1 year old, it is recommended that you give the baby some cod liver oil. If the baby is over 1 year old, you can give the baby some liquid calcium supplements.

How to improve baby's poor absorption

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Massage your baby's abdomen 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.

4. Try to prevent your baby from crying while eating. 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.

If the above methods are not effective, you can give your baby children's medicines to promote digestion and absorption. It is best to choose Chinese patent medicine, which has fewer side effects.

Babies nowadays are the treasures of the family. As long as the baby is uncomfortable, the whole family will panic. Here I want to tell you not to worry, because the baby's digestive system is not yet mature, you need to slowly recuperate. It is recommended not to feed too much at one time to avoid digestive dysfunction and take Mami Love for recuperation.
