Hello, I am a mother and a doctor. I am very lucky that my father is also a doctor. Do you think my baby is very happy? There are two doctors at home to protect her. Under our careful care, our babies rarely get sick. In fact, many baby illnesses, such as cough, fever, diarrhea, etc., are related to food accumulation. Food accumulation can be said to be the source of many diseases in babies, so parents must pay enough attention to it.
Why do children easily accumulate food?
1. "The Direct Jue of Pediatric Medicine and Diseases" says that "the internal organs are complete but not complete...complete but not strong." In other words, children's internal organs are delicate. Although each organ has been formed, its functions have not yet been perfected. In particular, the function of the spleen and stomach is more delicate, like a newly unearthed sprout, which needs the care of gentle wind and drizzle. Once fed improperly, food accumulation will occur.
2. Children are born with no resistance to delicious food. They eat delicious food desperately. Once their appetite is whetted, they can hardly stop. The originally weak spleen and stomach suddenly have an increased burden, and their transport and transformation functions stagnate, resulting in food accumulation.
3. Congenital weak spleen and stomach function. Most of these children are emaciated, sallow complexion, lack of energy, often sleepy and weak, and always like to sit down and rest when playing with children. I always like to take a nap during class.
How do you usually pay attention?
1. Follow the eight words - "Food is valuable and there is moderation, and there is a time when moderation is important." Parents should control the amount of their children's diet and feed them regularly and quantitatively. Meals are in order.
2. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "grains provide nourishment". In view of the physiological characteristics of "three common deficiencies" in children (deficiency of spleen, lungs and kidneys), eat more whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and eat less dietary supplements. Fatty foods such as meat, fish, and meat. A lighter and simpler diet for children will be beneficial to their health.
3. Avoid cold and cold, as cold and cold can easily damage the spleen and stomach. The principle of diet and health in traditional Chinese medicine is "cold does not freeze the teeth, hot does not burn the lips". Try to buy less ice cream, iced drinks, ice cream and other cold products for your children. In addition, bananas, watermelons, etc. are products of severe cold, so children with weak spleen and stomach should reduce their intake.
What to do after food accumulation
1. Fry rice and cook porridge
Fry the rice in an iron pan until golden brown (dry fry, do not add oil), can it and set aside. When children accumulate food, they can be used to cook porridge, which has the effect of nourishing the stomach, strengthening the spleen and eliminating food.
2. Radish
Radish, which lowers Qi and eliminates food, has a good effect on indigestion caused by food accumulation. For babies, puree white radish and feed it, or boil the radish in water. Older babies can make carrot soup.
3. Sanxian Tea
Purchase 5-10 grams each of Jiao Sanxian from the drug store and soak it in water to drink. (5 grams for Xiaobao and 10 grams for Dabao).
4. Pediatric Massage
Acupoints: rub the board door, use the Eight Diagrams inside, pinch the four horizontal lines 200 times each. Knead the spine and rub the abdomen for 1-2 minutes. Babies with weak spleen and stomach should supplement the spleen meridian, kidney meridian, and rub the Dantian.
In pediatric outpatient clinics, we often encounter children who come to see a doctor because of overeating. Overeating manifests as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, bad taste in the mouth, thickened tongue coating, loss of appetite, loose stools, etc., which seriously affects the child's growth and development. In good health. So, why do children easily accumulate food? What should you pay attention to as a parent?
Because the children’s spleen and stomach and other organs are not fully developed, the activity of various digestive enzymes is relatively low, and the types of digestive enzymes are not complete, so if you eat too much or eat things that are not easy to digest, , exceeding its own digestive capacity will lead to indigestion, the so-called accumulation of food.
In addition, the child’s diet is irregular and the diet is unreasonable. When it is time to eat complementary foods, you should appropriately add some nutritious and easy-to-digest complementary foods. Children are prone to partial eclipses, eating a lot of the foods they like and not wanting to eat any of the foods they don’t like. Parents should induce their children to eat a diversified diet from an early age, so that they can absorb rich nutrients and prevent their children from overeating.
The influence of external climate and environment can also cause children to accumulate food.
Children's bodies are fragile and their immunity is low, so they cannot quickly adapt to the outside temperature. During the Spring Festival, the temperature is relatively low. If you are not careful at this time, the child will catch cold, which will affect the transportation, transformation and absorption of the spleen and stomach, and cause indigestion. .
In order to prevent children from accumulating food, you should do the following in daily life: 1. Rub the child’s belly clockwise after meals to promote intestinal peristalsis; 2. Pay attention to letting the child eat regularly and eat well. Make a reasonable mix and eat more easily digestible food; 3. Pay attention to climate changes and add appropriate clothing; 4. Also pay attention to changes in the child's physical condition at any time. If the food accumulation is serious, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
The respondent for this issue: Zhang Xiaoyu, Master of Medicine
Welcome to follow Xinghua Island to learn more interesting health knowledge!
The first time I heard that children tend to accumulate food was from a friend who runs a pediatric massage clinic. In the past, when children were sick or had any discomfort, they would see Western medicine. I only know about indigestion, anorexia, etc. Later I learned that many of the child's discomforts may be caused by food accumulation. For example, partial eclipse, anorexia, vomiting, fever, restless sleep, abdominal pain, etc.
Why are children prone to food accumulation?
I think there are several reasons: First, the child’s intestines and stomach are still in the process of development, especially those under 2 years old. The gastrointestinal tract is immature and if you eat food that is not easy to digest, such as too much meat, glutinous rice, etc. Or eating too much food can easily lead to overeating. Secondly: not paying attention to your diet, eating raw and cold foods, hot foods, and greasy foods.
Because food accumulation is from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. According to traditional Chinese medicine, cool vegetables and fruits, such as watermelon, pears, etc. Hot ones such as pineapple, lychee, etc. Greasy food, too much meat, fatty meat, etc. It will cause damage to the child's spleen and stomach and food accumulation. In short, children's daily diet should be 70% full and mainly light. What you should pay attention to in daily life is as mentioned above:
Eat a light diet and don’t eat too much raw, cold, hot or greasy food.
Don’t eat too much. As the saying goes, if you want your child to be safe, you need to get rid of hunger and cold. The older generation is always afraid that their children will eat too little. Keep feeding. In fact, it is completely unnecessary. When a child stops eating, there is no need to feed him any more.
Pediatric massage is now popular. Taking your child for massage from time to time can also improve your child's food accumulation symptoms. If you find it inconvenient to go to a massage clinic, you can learn simple massage techniques on your own. When a child has food accumulation, you can take action yourself first. When my child was young, I often gave him abdominal massage to promote gastrointestinal motility and relieve the symptoms of food accumulation.
Hi, I am the chief parenting consultant of Kidswant. I hold a national advanced babysitting qualification certificate. There are nearly 5,000 parenting consultants like me in Kidswant to provide baby care, maternal lactation, and Services such as baby haircuts, nutritional guidance, maternal and infant care, growth and nurturing make motherhood easier!
My baby is a typical example. He not only likes to accumulate food, but also likes to get sick due to trouble. What should I do? He feels like he is about to collapse.
No matter how much you pay attention to it, babies tend to accumulate food easily. Later, I realized that the baby’s spleen and stomach are not good. Only by taking good care of the spleen and stomach can babies eat well and be in good health, so they are less likely to accumulate food. I saw an article about pediatric massage on the Internet one day, and I didn’t know what massage was. After slowly understanding it, I also massaged the baby myself, and the effect was very good. If the baby doesn’t like to eat, just clear and replenish the spleen, and use the thumb finger to massage. Push back and forth between the fingers and heels for 5 to 10 minutes, then pinch the spine, from the buttocks to the tail to the big vertebrae, pinch 3 times and lift 2. If you pinch 5 times, pinch 3 times and lift 2 for the third time. After finishing, touch the baby's back with your hands. A few times, slap the butt and 2 slaps. When pinching, you must use both hands, with the 4 fingers in front and the thumb behind.
There is one last technique, I particularly like it, which is to divide the yin and yang of the abdomen. When the baby has food accumulation, just push this acupoint. If it is abdominal distension, add the central and Shuangtianshu acupoints, and the effect is It's also very good. I can usually do it by myself. How do I massage the baby by dividing the yin and yang of the abdomen?
First of all, prepare some vegetable oil, warm your hands, untie the baby's clothes, point above the navel, start eating from the soft part under the bones, push from both sides, and massage from top to bottom. Yes, you can hear the gurgling sound in the baby's belly, which means that the food accumulated in the baby has gone down, and it will get better slowly. I believe that the mother must be the happiest and happiest when the baby is bouncing around.
Whether the baby is accumulating food needs to be observed.
First of all, it is anorexia and refuses even the most delicious food.
The mouth has a sour smell, and the tongue coating is thick and white.
Very irritable and whining.
There are clear tendons on the bridge of the nose. There are clear tendons on the bridge of the nose. Some babies also get angry. It does not rule out that the baby does not have food accumulation.
Tossing and turning, not sleeping well, constantly waking up, falling asleep again for 2 minutes, and then waking up again. It can be said that as long as the baby's food accumulation is not done well, the baby himself will be sad, and the mother will also be sad. It's not a good taste. There will also be cases of real fever. As long as the baby poops and eats, the fever will subside.
What should you pay attention to in daily life? My personal practice method is to give your children digestible and nutritious food. Do not give hard or glutinous food to your baby. Don’t let your baby eat too much at one time. Here is the song "Children's Health Songs" is recommended to everyone
If you want your children to be safe, hunger and cold are the three most important factors.
Drink less drinks and more water. Carrots and vegetables will keep you safe.
Frying, smoking, and roasting will damage the spleen and stomach. Eat more vegetables and less meat.
An egg, a little meat, a handful of vegetables and a handful of beans.
Eat slowly and move slightly after eating to maintain your health.
Take some medicine when you are sick or not, but it will lose its effectiveness when you are sick.
Be sure to keep your back warm, your belly warm and your feet warm in the spring, but your head and chest must be kept cool.
I think the reasons for this situation are as follows:
1. Children, especially young children, do not know what “eating full” means. If the food tastes good, you may eat more at one time. At this time, parents will be happy to see their children eating more, but they do not expect that this will cause the child to lose weight.
2. The food that children eat is difficult to digest. For example, meat-based foods, as far as I know, some children prefer to eat this type of food. In addition, children's spleen and stomach are relatively weak. Ingesting too much food that is not easy to digest at one time may also cause seizures!
3. When a child is sick, such as a cold, fever or other illnesses, the child’s appetite is already relatively poor, so try not to give the child too many things!
Let’s talk about treatment. Let me talk about myself first. My son is in elementary school this year. He often got sick 3 weeks ago. Later, I went to learn pediatric massage. After more than 2 years of massage care for him, he can hardly go there once or twice a year now. Hospital, so I will tell you about the treatment of food accumulation in children based on my experience!
When confirming that your child has food accumulation, don’t worry first! If your baby can already speak, ask him if he has any pain or other discomfort. This will help you make a better diagnosis of the condition. Moreover, if a child is sick, if he can take medicine, don’t get an injection, and if he can get an injection, don’t get an injection. This is the experience of many mothers around me! Because doing this is the most beneficial to the child’s own vitality!
The following is my experience. First, let the child lie comfortably on his back on the bed.
Step one: Use the palm of your hand to push down from near the child's Tanzhong point for 1-2 minutes (if it is the first time to push for the child, the force should be as light as possible), all the way to the lower belly. During the abdominal pushing process, some children's stomachs will growl, and some children will complain of pain in a certain part. This is the crux of the problem. Then give the child a gentle massage at that place alone.
Step 2: With the navel as the center, rub the child's abdomen with the palm of your hand to promote the child's gastrointestinal motility. 1-2 minutes each counterclockwise and clockwise.
Step 3: Find the Zusanli acupoint on the outside of the child’s calf near the knee. This acupoint is very powerful and can be searched by yourself. Massage for 1-2 minutes on each side.
If the child is very uncomfortable, go and prescribe some Chinese patent medicine for the child to treat food accumulation. It must be traditional Chinese medicine to minimize the irritation to the child's spleen and stomach!
In this way, the child will basically get better in 2-3 days!
I hope all children have a great body!
Accumulation of food in children can also be understood as indigestion after eating. It's okay to just say that I can't digest it, but I'm afraid I'll have diarrhea again!
Let me share with you my experience in raising my first and second babies.
The first, the most feared situation is cold drinks and ice cream. Regardless of whether the child has eaten meat or drank milk, as long as a cold drink is in the stomach, the child's stomach will immediately stop. It won't take 3 to 5 days to recover. If you don't take good care of it these days, your child's stomach will protest from time to time in the future.
Secondly, it takes a dedicated person to develop a regular eating routine for children. Sometimes, no matter how knowledgeable someone is, there are also times when they are negligent. For example, during the Chinese New Year, you are already very busy. When you finish your work and look at your child, you will not know how much he has eaten. Only when he says he feels uncomfortable will you realize that your child may have eaten too much. What should you do? You can only tell him to eat less in the future. eat. Even if I don’t eat, I have to take Jianweixiaoshi tablets every time. When the New Year is over, I don’t know if I still have a regular meal pattern.
The third type is that you are afraid of exhausting your stomach if you don’t eat. When infants have acute rash or viral herpes fever (common colds are easy to take care of), the child drank anti-fever medicine and the fever subsided. I was feeling fine, but I had diarrhea again. The fever had been recurring for several days, and I was not allowed to eat anything that was difficult to digest. In the end, I had no choice but to starve to death.
My two children have experienced all three! Nothing is left behind!
The gastrointestinal tract of children aged 0 to 3 years old is very fragile, and the gastrointestinal tract is not fully developed yet. A little carelessness can cause damage to the baby's gastrointestinal tract. This is what happened to my 2-year-old child. When eating the pumpkins I bought, I put the pumpkin seeds on the window to dry, collect them and fry them. When I fry them, I eat them. Food, but the baby wanted to eat when she saw you eating it, so I gave her a handful and didn’t dare to give her more food. As a result, she suddenly had a fever at night, which scared me. I dared to use physical means to reduce the fever, and even looked for She was given antipyretic medicine, and the fever slowly subsided, but it kept coming back again and again. Later, she went to the doctor. The doctor said that the child had eaten pumpkin seeds and hurt her spleen and stomach, so she needed to take medicine to wake up her spleen and stomach.
It should be noted that you should drink more water at ordinary times. If the baby does not drink, you can coax him or her to drink. For older babies, buy a small cup that is interesting to him or her and let her drink. For a younger one and a half years old, you can buy one with a straw. He or she will find it novel to drink. If you really don’t want to drink it, you can squeeze some vegetable juice to drink. For younger babies, it is best to dilute it. Older babies can eat some fruits in moderation or drink juice. It is best to eat milk and breast milk before snacking. If it is a baby who has eaten after meals, eat more soft noodles, rice and porridge. The meat and vegetables should be chopped and stir-fried until they are soft. In short, eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. Mothers can feel at ease only if the baby's stomach and spleen are well protected.
1. Babies have almost no resistance to the food they like to eat, so it will inevitably lead to inadvertent eating. Eat too much.
2. Some children like to eat greasy food, such as some meat, and they will feel uncomfortable if they eat too much.
3. Babies have almost no immunity to snacks, especially some sweets, and they can easily get bored.
4. The baby has a delicate stomach and intestines. How can he not accumulate food after eating too many snacks and meats?
My little second child went back to his hometown during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. I didn’t pay attention during the meal. Everyone fed him food, and he refused everyone who came. Later I found out that he also ate a lot of crabs... After dinner, I hugged him and took a lunch break. However, I got up in the afternoon and started vomiting. It was uncomfortable... My whole body looked extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, if you want your baby to be in good health and not accumulate food, you must pay attention to fixing his own tableware for the baby and have special feeding. You cannot let everyone feed him. That is not loving him, but harming him. .
In addition, attention should be paid to controlling the diet and not allowing the baby to eat as much as he likes. Eliminate triggers and eat healthily. As the saying goes, if you want your children to be safe, you must balance hunger and cold. This is very reasonable.
Parents Hall will provide you with popular science:
According to Western medicine, the main causes of food accumulation include indigestion, malnutrition, deficiencies of certain vitamins, trace elements and some macroelements. Diseases such as intestinal parasites.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it refers to disordered eating and stagnation, resulting in abnormal movement and transformation of the spleen and stomach.
The main cause of food accumulation in children is improper feeding: the child's diet is uncontrolled and irregular; the child's nutrition is incomplete and unreasonable, and he likes to eat raw, cold, greasy or unclean food. Children's digestive systems are relatively delicate and their gastrointestinal function is weak. Over time, food accumulation will occur. In addition to not liking to eat, this symptom may also include loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, irritability and crying, poor sleep, hot palms and soles, thirsty drinkers, bloating and diarrhea, and red cheeks in children. It takes too long to cure. The complexion is yellow, the whole body is thin, the spirit is listless, the hair is sparse and yellow, and some children even suffer from pica.
Parents can refer to the following points to improve their situation.
1. Make sure to eat three regular meals every day. If the child does not finish eating within the fixed time period, do not force the child to continue eating, so as not to cause the child to have a rebellious mentality.
2. Control children’s snacking before meals. Too many snacks before meals can easily lead to children not being hungry and unwilling to eat normally. Excessive feeding causes a burden on children’s gastrointestinal tract and can easily lead to food accumulation after a period of time. .
3. Cold in the gastrointestinal tract will not easily promote gastrointestinal motility, so it will easily lead to food accumulation. Pay attention to keeping the child's abdomen warm and avoid eating cold food.
4. Children, like adults, like new things. A single food can neither satisfy the baby's curiosity nor supplement more nutrients. The mother can often change some new tricks for the baby to try. .
5. Children’s stomach capacity is small and they may not be able to eat a large plate of food at one time. You can also try to feed them in small portions and frequent meals.
6. If a child often accumulates food and affects his growth and development, it is recommended to seek medical treatment.
Why do children easily accumulate food? How should we pay attention to it?
As a stay-at-home mother with a two-year-old child, I would like to briefly talk about my own experience regarding food accumulation in my children:
1. Don’t feed your children rice with soup. If the child is still young, do not feed the child soup and vegetables at the same time just to save time. Children's chewing ability is slow. Soup rice can easily save children's chewing time and enter the stomach directly. The digestion time is lengthened, and children are naturally prone to food accumulation.
2. Let your children move more and bask in the sun. Children who exercise more will naturally strengthen their intestinal peristalsis and reduce food accumulation in the stomach.
3. If the child can accept it, you can give the child a chiropractic massage when you get up in the morning. If you insist on it for a week, it can enhance the vitality of the child's gastrointestinal tract and reduce constipation. (Chiropractic tutorials can be found by searching online)
4. It is best for children not to eat after 8 o'clock in the evening. If your child goes to bed early, don't eat after seven o'clock. If you eat before going to bed, the food is still in the stomach. If the child lies down to sleep, the food will not be digested and it is easy for food to accumulate.
5. Children usually accumulate food easily and may have a weak spleen and stomach. You can see a doctor and eat more foods that are good for your spleen and stomach.
