Parents who have raised their children may have some experience, trying to keep their babies hungry and not letting them eat too much to accumulate food. But some new parents may always think that their babies may not be eating enough and want them to eat more, which can easily lead to overeating. So, how to determine if a baby has accumulated food?
Parents may worry that their baby is not fond of breastfeeding when they see that they are accumulating food, but this may not be the case. Alternatively, the baby may not be fond of breastfeeding due to anorexia. Because some babies with spleen deficiency may show a reluctance to breastfeed, but they do not accumulate food. Want to know if your baby has accumulated food and see if they have the following symptoms:
1. Take a breath. Babies who have accumulated food have a sour and unpleasant odor when their breath is smelled.
2. Look at the tongue. A thick coating on the baby's tongue indicates the possibility of food accumulation, and in severe cases, powder coating has already formed. The thickness of the moss can indicate the degree of accumulation. If you can see through the tongue coating that the tongue mucosa is not too thick. People who have accumulated food and fever have thick yellow tongue coating, and even have a map tongue.
3. Ask about bowel movements. Although feces are the excrement of the human body, it can be seen that there is no problem with the digestive system. Some babies may have constipation and may not defecate for three to five days. If there is loose stools and diarrhea, the stool is sour and smelly.
4. Observe sleep. Sleep represents the heart meridian and liver meridian in children. Usually babies have excess liver and liver, but insufficient spleen. When there is food accumulation, the accumulation of blood and heat can lead to excessive heat in the liver and liver meridians, making the baby more irritable and having poor sleep.
