How to regulate the stomach and intestines of children How to regulate the stomach and intestines of children

The baby's stomach is very sensitive and delicate, so it is easy to have diarrhea. If the baby's stomach is sensitive, how should we regulate it to make it better? Today, I will introduce several ways to regulate the stomach.

How to regulate the stomach of children

1. Carrot juice. Wash and mash fresh carrots, add a small amount of water and boil for 10 to 15 minutes, filter out the residue, then add water and a small amount of sugar, boil and wait for it to cool to the appropriate temperature before giving it to your baby.

2. Apple puree soup. The tannic acid and organic base contained in apples have astringent effects, and the pectin contained in apples can absorb toxins. For simple mild diarrhea, eating apples alone can stop diarrhea. The cellulose contained in apples can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and accelerate defecation, so it also has a laxative effect. Mash the ripe apples into a puree and put them in light tea. Apple fibers are fine and have little irritation to the intestines. The rich pectin has an astringent effect.

3. Light tea. Tea contains caffeine, tannic acid, etc., which has the effects of excitement, cardiotonic, diuretic, astringent, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, etc., and is effective for acute gastroenteritis. Take a small amount of black tea and brew it with boiling water, and give it to the baby 4-5 times a day, which has a good effect on acute gastroenteritis.

4. Hawthorn brown sugar rice porridge. Put hawthorn in a casserole and simmer it into a thick juice, then add rice and brown sugar to cook into porridge, and give it to the baby in the morning and afternoon. Note: Do not eat on an empty stomach.

5. Massage the abdomen. Let the child lie flat, exposing the belly (be careful not to pull the clothes too high to prevent catching a cold). Gently rub the abdomen in a clockwise direction for 1-3 minutes. Then massage the Weiwan acupoint for 2 minutes. Massaging the abdomen can directly strengthen intestinal peristalsis, promote defecation, and has the effect of harmonizing the stomach and promoting digestion.

What to do if your baby has a bad stomach

1. Lead by example

For example, tell your child the nutritional value of vegetables, and let your child eat vegetables in front of him or her so that he or she will like eating vegetables.

2. Try changing your cooking method

There is more than one way to cook a dish. It does not have to be braised or stewed. Keep exploring your baby's taste. As long as your child likes and enjoys eating, he or she can ingest a variety of nutrients.

3. Don’t eat too many snacks

In addition to the main meals, do not give your baby too many snacks. You can have more meals, but do not replace the staple food with snacks.

4. Give timely praise and encouragement

Parents should not be stingy with your praise. Even if the child only eats a small piece of food, you should praise him immediately, such as "baby, you are so good" or "baby, you are great."

5. Give your baby proper probiotics in daily life

Supplementing with probiotics helps babies protect their intestinal health. When encountering common diseases in children aged 0-6 years old, such as loss of appetite or anorexia, indigestion, emaciation, infectious diarrhea, etc., nearly 4 years of clinical practice has proved that giving babies probiotics is the most effective way to prevent and treat the above diseases.
