What should I do if my baby is vomiting, having diarrhea and having a fever?

It is a common situation for babies to vomit, have diarrhea and have a fever. This situation is mostly caused by viral diarrhea, which has a lot to do with the baby's diet. This situation has a great impact on the baby's body, so parents need to understand it in detail and take some measures to treat it. So here is what to do if the baby vomits, has diarrhea and has a fever?

Baby's gastrointestinal care:

1. Correctly adding complementary foods is the key

The taste buds of newborn babies are not yet developed. It is not until they are exposed to various flavors that their sense of taste begins to develop. The quality of taste development has an important impact on the baby's appetite. Therefore, whether the mother can add complementary food to the baby in time and reasonably after the baby is 4 months old is very important for cultivating good gastrointestinal function.

When babies are 5 months old, they will drool when they smell the food cooked by adults, which means that they are no longer satisfied with their "diet" of only milk. They strongly demand to eat a variety of foods and have a strong demand for the "taste" of solid food because they need to grind their teeth. If they can't get food, babies will grab everything they come across and put it in their mouths. In fact, their requests are very simple: "I just want to taste it, chew it, and make my itchy gums feel better." At this time, the baby's gastrointestinal tract is also ready to welcome solid food.

Therefore, parents should add solid food to their babies in a timely and bold manner. Moreover, the rougher the food is, the greater the mechanical stimulation to the baby's mouth and gastrointestinal walls, and the greater the driving force of the intestinal wall muscles. This is how you can train your baby's digestive tract to have a strong driving force and help your child have a good stomach.

The preparation of food must be suitable for the baby's age characteristics. For example, the baby's digestive ability is still relatively weak after weaning, so the food should be cooked finely, softly and thoroughly. As the baby grows older, the chewing ability of the baby increases, and the food processing gradually tends to be coarse and complete.

In addition, the color and taste of food are also very important. Babies are usually very picky about food. Regardless of the taste, they will refuse a dish if it is not cooked properly. For example, not liking to eat vegetables is a "common problem" among many babies. At this time, the mother can use her brains and try changing the way of eating them, such as chopping vegetables into porridge or rice, or making vegetable and meat fillings for dumplings or wontons, and the baby will like to eat them.

The food should also be diversified, with meat, poultry, fish and eggs every day to ensure that the baby's nutritional needs are met as much as possible. Unless the diet is supplemented or fortified with nutrients, a vegetable-only diet will not meet the nutritional needs of babies at this age.
