Dyspepsia is a disease characterized by intermittent or persistent discomfort in the upper abdomen after eating. Because the baby is in the growth and development period, the physical function is not fully developed, the digestive system function is not perfect, and the stomach is not very good.

Therefore, compared with adults, the baby's gastrointestinal system is still relatively fragile. If parents don't pay attention to the baby's diet, it will easily lead to the baby's gastrointestinal discomfort, so indigestion is more common in infants.

The main symptoms of baby's indigestion

If you want to know how to prevent your baby from indigestion, you must first know what the symptoms of indigestion are, where the causes of indigestion are, and the right medicine is the best policy. According to a child nutritionist's summary, the main symptoms of baby indigestion can be divided into the following points:

1, making noise

Due to the disorder of digestive function, some food remains in the digestive tract, and these residues will produce gas after microbial fermentation, causing abdominal distension, burping, abdominal sound, farting and other symptoms.

2, reduce appetite

The accumulation and fermentation of undigested food will reduce the appetite of children, and children will not eat or eat very little.

Step 3 vomit

Children often vomit after meals, often accompanied by bad breath, which is also one of the symptoms of indigestion.

4. Abnormal defecation

Irregular defecation, abnormal defecation status, most children will have symptoms such as diarrhea or constipation due to gastrointestinal digestive problems.

5, restless sleep

Gastrointestinal discomfort can lead to abnormal sleep of babies. When sleeping at night, I often show fidgeting and often toss and turn.

6, the face is red

Blushing is not normal, and the skin is not normal, especially if you enter a closed environment with a slightly higher temperature, your face will easily turn red.

Why does the baby have indigestion?

The baby's indigestion shows that the nutrients and trace elements needed by the body are not well absorbed. Indigestion is often accompanied by malnutrition, so why do children have indigestion?

1, eating too fast

Swallow before chewing. Eating too fast will lead to insufficient chewing and cause obstacles to the digestive system.

2. Eat too much

Eating too much is beyond the burden of the digestive system, and it is easy to cause a lot of food to stay.

3. Irregular diet

Often overeating is very harmful to the stomach, such as not eating on time and often eating supper.

4, too partial eclipse

Preference for sweets, spicy, beer, fried, blunt and other irritating foods.

5. Drink too much soup

Drinking too much soup while eating dilutes the liquid in the stomach, which is not conducive to food digestion.

6. Eat unclean food

Eating contaminated food is easy to cause stomach trouble, which is not conducive to the body's absorption of food.

7. The food you eat is too miscellaneous

Some foods can't be eaten at the same time. If you eat it by mistake, it will cause a series of discomfort and serious poisoning.

What does the baby eat with indigestion?

In our life, indigestion is often treated by diet. What should the baby eat with indigestion? Let's take a look together.

1, carrot soup

Functions: invigorating spleen, promoting digestion, lowering qi and harmonizing middle energizer. The carrots in this meal are rich in vitamins (vitamin food), especially carotene A, and there are more vitamin B2 and folic acid (folic acid food), so they are called "civilian ginseng (ginseng food)". It is sweet in taste and mild in nature, and has the effects of invigorating spleen, resolving stagnation, moistening dryness and improving eyesight, and can be used to treat dyspepsia caused by weakness of spleen and stomach in children.

2, millet yam porridge

Function of invigorating spleen and qi, calming heart and nourishing yin. This kind of corn for dietotherapy has the functions of strengthening the spleen, regulating the stomach, clearing away heat and calming the nerves; Yam, spleen and stomach, qi and yin, diuresis and kidney. Regular consumption can prevent and treat children's dyspepsia.

3, millet mushroom porridge

The porridge has the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach, and helping digestion, because millet in porridge has the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach, while chicken's gizzard-membrane can help digestion, and mushrooms also have the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach and helping digestion. Therefore, eating millet and mushroom porridge can effectively prevent and treat children's indigestion.

4.yogurt

Firstly, add 5 ~ 10% sucrose to milk for boiling disinfection. After the milk is cooled, the lactic acid solution (5 ml of 5% lactic acid solution per 100 ml of milk) is slowly added dropwise, and it is stirred while adding to make it into fine particles.

Yogurt is easy to digest and suitable for children with gastroenteritis.

5, light tea

Take a little black tea and brew it with boiling water four times a day. Because tea contains caffeine, tannic acid and so on. , has the effects of excitement, cardiotonic, diuretic, astringent, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory, and has curative effect on acute gastroenteritis.

Step 6 skim milk

Boil the milk, remove the fat film after cooling, boil the remaining milk, remove the fat film after cooling, and repeat this for 3 times. Skim milk is suitable for children with vomiting, diarrhea and dysentery.

7. Apple

I believe everyone knows that apples contain tannic acid and many organic alkaline substances, which have the function of stopping diarrhea and relaxing bowels. Therefore, when the baby has indigestion, you can eat some fruits to facilitate defecation.

8, tomatoes

Rich in malic acid, citric acid, formic acid and other organic acids, it can protect vitamin C from being destroyed during processing and cooking, and increase the utilization rate of vitamins. Tomatoes also contain a special ingredient-lycopene, which helps digestion and diuresis, and can help gastric juice digest fat. Lycopene can also inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi and treat angular stomatitis.

Food to promote infant digestion

There are many foods that promote baby's digestion. These foods are also delicious, and babies like to eat them. Let me introduce some to you!

1, sugar-coated haws boil water

Children's digestive tract is immature and fragile, and many children gobble it up. In addition, now that food is abundant, parents always let their children eat too much or eat irregularly, which is easy to cause digestive tract problems.

The child has indigestion, so there is no need to buy any medicine. You can buy a bunch of candied haws in the street, stew them slowly in a pot, add two jujubes, stew the jujubes and the hawthorn meat together, separate the hawthorn and the wild jujube seeds, and let the children drink this soup: sour and sweet, delicious, and not irritating to the stomach, and the effect is good.

2. Mash

Lao Zhao, also known as Jiangmi liqueur, is a southern flavor snack. Everyone can do it, northerners are not familiar with it, but its method is not difficult and can be learned quickly. For the sake of children, I suggest that my daughter develop the habit of making fermented grains. This kind of food contains a lot of B vitamins, which is helpful for children's digestion and metabolism. Can help the human body metabolize carbohydrates and energy.

Women who lose weight know that accelerating carbohydrate and energy metabolism is helpful to lose weight.

Nowadays, children eat too much refined rice and flour and too little B vitamins, which will cause obesity. Therefore, eating fermented grains can also reduce the chance of obesity in children. It happens that my daughter's mother-in-law is from the south. She can cook glutinous rice and it's delicious. I told my daughter to learn the craft of mashing well. This kind of food is of great benefit to children and costs little. It is much better to use this food to supplement vitamins for children than to go to the drugstore to buy capsules.

The method of mash is very simple, that is, soak the glutinous rice thoroughly and steam it, mix it with the sweet wine koji bought in the supermarket and seal it for a period of time.

Step 3: yogurt

There are probiotics in yogurt (called Bifidobacterium), which is one of the normal intestinal flora, a "health guardian" of people and a "scavenger" of the intestine, and can maintain good intestinal function.

Why is Bifidobacterium the "health guardian" of people? Because Bifidobacterium living in the intestine grows on the intestinal mucosa, it forms a "biofilm barrier", just like building a great wall of steel on the surface of human intestine, which plays the role of public security police, thus making the invading pathogenic bacteria lose their foothold in the intestine. Why is Bifidobacterium the "scavenger" of human intestine?

Because lactic acid and acetic acid secreted by Bifidobacterium can stimulate intestinal wall, promote intestinal peristalsis, maintain normal defecation function, and discharge harmful and toxic substances in the intestine in time.

Nowadays, however, Bifidobacterium is regarded as a commercial stunt. Many businesses claim that there are "Bifidobacterium" in their dairy products when advertising. In fact, Bifidobacterium only exists in your own yogurt. Bifidobacterium in industrialized dairy products has lost its activity, and in layman's terms it is dead. Why do you say that? Because Bifidobacterium is anaerobic, it is easy to die when exposed to air.

It takes such a long time for industrialized dairy products to reach consumers' mouths, and almost all the bifidobacteria in them have lost their activity. Therefore, those commercial propaganda actually took advantage of people's lack of nutrition knowledge and played a conceptual edge ball.

Only freshly brewed and eaten yogurt is rich in bifidobacteria. Eating this yogurt can effectively use Bifidobacterium and solve the problem of digestive dysfunction in children. It should be emphasized that yogurt should be drunk after meals and not on an empty stomach.

Of course, drinking yogurt is also an effective way to supplement calcium.

What should the baby do if he has indigestion?

1, correcting eating behavior is fundamental.

Eating is a kind of eating behavior. Parents need to demonstrate and guide their children in the process of eating, so that children can develop correct eating habits and behaviors from an early age.

2, regular quantitative, eat less snacks

It is very important to develop the habit of children eating regularly and quantitatively. If you give your child too many snacks, eat sweets and biscuits for a while, and your stomach is not empty, your child will not feel hungry when eating normally.

Parents can make their children realize that it is time to eat by fixing time, place, specific tableware and words. This is a way to make children feel eating through conditioned reflex. When steaming food is put on the table, he will realize that "it's time to eat". Secondly, don't let children develop the bad habit of eating snacks.

3. Concentrate on eating and cultivate children's interest in eating.

Eating requires concentration, and parents must let their children develop the habit of paying attention to eating. If children don't like eating, parents should cultivate their interest in eating. When eating, children can participate by themselves, holding rice bowls and spoons and choosing their favorite foods, so that children not only learn to eat, but also cultivate their interest in eating.

Create a pleasant dining atmosphere. When some children can't eat or don't want to eat, parents will beat, scold or even insult their children, causing them to cry every time they eat. In this way, children will subconsciously hate eating and be afraid of eating. Eating has become an unhappy thing.

Watch the child's stool and treat indigestion symptomatically.

1. The phenomenon of large, frothy, rough stool, food residue or undigested food is mostly caused by eating too much or high sugar in food. For such children, it is necessary to control their food intake or reduce the sugar in food, and feed them some digestible foods such as rice soup and lotus root paste to return to normal.

2. Babies who are breastfeeding find that the stool is foamy and egg-shaped, with a strong acidic smell, which is mostly caused by a large amount of milk and a high sugar content in milk. In this case, it is not necessary to stop feeding, and the feeding time can be shortened or the interval of feeding time can be extended, and an appropriate amount of tea or warm water can be fed during the interval. Put less sugar in the milk and gradually return to normal.

3. The stool is yellow-brown water-like or mixed with undigested milk petals, accompanied by the pungent smell of rotten eggs, indicating that there are obstacles to the digestion and absorption of food in protein. For such a baby, the amount of protein food in the complementary food should be reduced.

Breast-fed babies can drink plenty of water before feeding to reduce the protein concentration in milk. When feeding with milk, you can add a proper amount of water and rice soup to the milk, and adjust the concentration according to the age of the month.

4, a large amount of stool, mushy, oily appearance, containing more breast flaps and fat drops, smelly, indicating fat indigestion. Breastfeeding, mothers should eat less fatty food. Artificial feeding can dilute milk with water and rice soup or use low-fat milk.

How to prevent the baby from indigestion?

1, the feeding should be regular and quantitative, so that children can develop good eating habits from an early age and let internal organs adapt better. Older children should be encouraged to develop the habit of automatic feeding.

2, overcome partial eclipse, pay attention to comprehensive nutrition. Meat and vegetables should be properly matched to overcome the bad habit of giving priority to snacks. Avoid strong tea, coffee, alcohol, spices, peppers, mustard and other irritating foods.

3, pay attention to keep the child's appetite, because appetite is the most beneficial. To keep children's good appetite, we must pay attention to the eating environment that is not too noisy and can't eat while watching TV. Be careful not to force food or restrict children's diet too strictly; Don't eat candy before meals; Avoid children being too tired or nervous when eating; The color, fragrance and taste of food should be attractive.
