The reason of baby's food intolerance may be that the digestive system is not fully developed. The baby's digestive system will gradually develop after birth, but it will not fully mature until about one year old. In this process, they may not be able to effectively decompose some food ingredients, leading to the emergence of food intolerance. Therefore, in the early stages of babies, we need to pay special attention to choosing foods suitable for their digestive ability.
The baby may be sensitive or allergic to certain food ingredients. Some foods contain protein or other ingredients that cause allergic reactions, such as peanuts, eggs and milk. When the baby ingests these foods, the immune system will have an allergic reaction, leading to discomfort such as redness of the skin, stomachache and vomiting. If we find that our baby has an allergic reaction to a certain food, we should stop feeding them as soon as possible and consult a doctor for more information.
Some babies may suffer from food intolerance due to the lack of digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes are important substances to help break down food. If a certain digestive enzyme is lacking in the baby's body, food will not be fully digested and absorbed. For example, lactose intolerance is due to the baby's lack of lactase, which can't decompose lactose into absorbable forms, thus causing symptoms such as diarrhea and flatulence. In view of this kind of situation, you can consider choosing a special formula milk powder or special formula food suitable for your baby.
Some babies may be more prone to food intolerance because of their family history of food allergy. If the baby's parents or siblings have a history of allergies, they may also be more likely to react to certain foods. In this case, we need to pay special attention to the baby's diet and find and avoid potential food allergies in time.
There are many reasons for baby's food intolerance, including incomplete development of digestive system, sensitivity or allergy to certain food ingredients, lack of digestive enzymes and family inheritance. Understanding these reasons can help us to better choose the food suitable for our baby and prevent the occurrence of discomfort symptoms. Remember, your baby's health is the most important thing. If you have any questions or confusion, you must consult your doctor in time.
