What is the cause of baby's indigestion? How to treat children with long-term indigestion?

Many parents want their babies to eat more, thinking that this is good for the body and can enhance the baby's immunity. In fact, this idea is wrong. Babies of different ages have their own dietary standards. If parents feed their children too much, it is likely to cause food accumulation in the baby.

1. Issues regarding adding complementary foods: Some parents are particularly anxious to add various complementary foods to their children as soon as their baby is over six months old, because they think that drinking milk alone is not good for the baby's growth. However, excessive addition is also incorrect, because the baby's spleen and stomach cannot accept it all at once, and food accumulation will occur. Therefore, adding complementary foods must be done slowly, there is an adaptation process, and the amount must be appropriate.

2 Eating habits: Some babies will be interested in various snacks when they grow up. If they eat too many snacks, they will suffer from indigestion and food accumulation. Parents must pay attention to control this, and snacks themselves are unhealthy. In addition, if the baby is older, dinner must not be eaten too late, and must be around six o'clock.

3. Incorrect intake ratio. Some babies like to eat protein foods, such as meat and eggs, when they grow up. At this time, parents think that eating meat is nutritious, but they don’t know that protein foods are difficult to digest. Excessive consumption is a burden. Not only will it not increase nutrition, but it will also cause food accumulation, so the proportion of food must be well matched.

4. If you neglect to keep your baby warm and don’t add clothes to your baby in time, your baby will catch a cold. Then, the first thing that will be affected after catching a cold is the spleen and stomach, which will cause indigestion and lead to indigestion, so you must pay attention to keeping your baby’s feet and stomach warm.

1. Adjust the diet. Wrong eating habits are a common cause of indigestion in children, so it is best to pay attention to your personal eating habits in life. Do not overeat, so that children can get healthy through scientific eating. At the same time, you can also eat some digestive foods according to your personal constitution, so as to achieve the purpose of treating indigestion.

2. Regulate emotions. When children have indigestion, many of them become very irritable. At this time, actively regulating one's emotions can help achieve better treatment results when treating indigestion.

3. Appropriate massage can promote gastrointestinal digestion and achieve the purpose of treating indigestion. Therefore, it is recommended that you give targeted stimulation to the child's abdomen when you find that the child has indigestion, so that the child's indigestion problem can be restored through scientific massage.

4 Exercise can promote gastrointestinal digestion and can also help children stay away from the harm of indigestion. Therefore, it is very important for parents to pay attention to their children’s exercise habits in life.

5. Taking medicine When the problem of indigestion has seriously affected the child's health, it can be regulated by taking medicine. However, the child's physique is relatively special, so the medicine must be selected with the help of a doctor.
