What are the symptoms of baby's food accumulation? Four phenomena should be watched out for

The first is that the baby's tongue coating becomes thicker. The tongue and the stomach are closely related. If the tongue coating becomes thicker, it means that the digestive function is not good. Parents should pay attention. The second is that the baby's bowel movements are abnormal. Normally, the baby will have one or two bowel movements a day, but if the baby cannot have bowel movements smoothly, it means that there is a problem with digestion. The third is that the baby has bad breath. Intestinal gas is discharged from the mouth. Bad breath means that there is poor digestion in the stomach. There is also a fourth one, which will be discussed in detail below.

What are the symptoms of baby's food accumulation?

First, the baby's tongue coating becomes thicker

If you find that your baby's tongue coating suddenly becomes thicker, or there are red or white patches, it may be due to indigestion that has caused problems with the spleen and stomach.

Second, the baby's stool is abnormal

When the baby is defecating, the mother can carefully observe his stool. If the stool is blocked, dry and hard, it may be caused by weak spleen and stomach due to food accumulation.

The third one is that the baby has bad breath

If you find an unpleasant sour odor coming from your baby's mouth when you are in contact with him, it may be because the food is not digested and fermented in the stomach and intestines, producing the odor.

4. Baby’s poor appetite

If your baby suddenly has a poor appetite and eats little, you need to pay attention, as this may be a sign of indigestion.

How to deal with baby's food accumulation

1. Exercise after meals

Half an hour after a meal, you can take a proper walk to promote gastrointestinal digestion and peristalsis, which can help your baby digest. It helps your baby avoid indigestion and promotes parent-child affection during the activity.

2. Pay attention to your diet

Eat more easily digestible and easily absorbed foods, and do not blindly increase high-calorie and high-fat foods. Let children eat more vegetables and fruits, less meat, and appropriately increase rice and pasta. High-protein diets are fine to avoid increasing the burden on the stomach and intestines. Do not eat too much nutritious food, otherwise it will not only fail to strengthen the body, but will only have the opposite effect. Children should eat at regular times and in fixed quantities. Do not let them eat before mealtime, which will burden the stomach and intestines and is not conducive to digestion. Eat less for dinner, not only to avoid food accumulation, but also to benefit the baby's body.
