Many babies may experience constipation, dry stools, or excessive eye droppings when they are relatively young. At this time, due to the baby's young age, they mainly rely on formula and milk for food, and eat less of other foods. This can make mothers feel that their baby's condition is caused by milk. So, will drinking too much milk in children cause internal heat?
Milk is a slightly cold food that has the function of clearing heat and detoxifying. Generally speaking, drinking milk will not cause excessive heat. For some babies, milk is one of the main diets and is particularly nutritious. Therefore, milk should not be excluded from their diet just because of some "rashes" and "dry stools".
Milk has high protein and calcium content, and low lactose content. Some children may have dry stools due to this, and may have 1-2 bowel movements a day or only once every 1-2 days. However, this is actually a normal phenomenon, and parents do not need to blame milk. When the sugar content in milk is low and the baby needs to exert a lot of effort to defecate each time, and the stool becomes dry and hard, adding some sugar or honey to the milk given to the baby can solve the problem.
In addition, it is possible that a child's internal heat may be caused by drinking less water. Therefore, parents must pay attention to encouraging their children to drink more water, exercise regularly, and develop good habits of regular bowel movements to prevent internal heat and constipation.
