How to massage baby's belly when he has diarrhea

Diarrhea in babies is quite common in life, mostly caused by poor diet or unclean food. At this time, in addition to medication and timely hydration of the child, corresponding treatment can also be carried out through massage. Although massage cannot achieve the effect of anti-inflammatory, it can relieve the pain caused by diarrhea in children. Let’s take a look at massaging the baby’s belly for diarrhea.

How to massage baby's belly when he has diarrhea

1. Press and rub Zusanli. Starting from the raised area below the patella, go down four finger widths to the outside of the tibia and massage this point with the tip of your thumb 100-200 times.

2. Push up the seven vertebrae. Starting from the coccyx, there are seven vertebrae 1 to 1.5 inches upward. Open your hands, fix your four fingers outward on both sides of the lumbar spine, and use your thumbs to push up the seven vertebrae alternately 200-300 times.

3. Abdominal massage. Spread your palms, place them on the baby's abdomen, and gently rub counterclockwise for about 50 times, or for about 2 minutes. This massage technique can help children stop diarrhea and promote gastrointestinal function.

What to do if your baby has diarrhea and enteritis

1. The diet should include light and easily digestible foods such as skimmed milk, porridge and a small amount of pickles.

2. Take medication under the guidance of a doctor and do not take medication on your own or rely on folk remedies.

3. Rehydrate the baby with water in time, add a little salt and sugar to the water, and feed it from time to time.

When an infant has mild diarrhea or enteritis, you can use the techniques introduced above to massage the baby, which can relieve the baby's discomfort to a certain extent. But if the situation is serious, you should go to the hospital in time instead of taking chances and handling it on your own. Don't rush to give your baby random medicines. I hope all the babies can grow up healthy.
