Eating too much during festivals and holidays is common, but for infants and young children, excessive food intake can cause gastrointestinal burden and lead to food accumulation. So parents should pay attention to their children's dietary intake and avoid them accumulating food. However, what should be done if a child accumulates food?
If children have accumulated food, they can rest for half an hour after meals and then engage in appropriate exercise, such as walking, to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion, which is beneficial for improving the problem of accumulated food in children. Moreover, it is best for children to take a walk after meals on sunny days. If the weather is bad, you can take a walk indoors.
Parents can also massage their children's abdomen to enhance their gastrointestinal motility and improve digestion. In addition to massage and exercise, parents can use some medications to treat children's food problems. However, different conditions require different medications to be chosen, so parents cannot give medication to their children casually. Parents need to give their children medication that promotes gastrointestinal digestion under the guidance of a doctor.
In addition, in order to prevent children from accumulating food, parents should pay attention to their diet and ensure that three meals a day are scheduled and balanced, to ensure that the child's body is nutritionally balanced and maintain gastrointestinal health. Generally speaking, children should eat well in the morning, be full at noon, and eat less at night in order to help their physical growth and prevent food accumulation problems.
