Baby's gastrointestinal problems are also a big issue. The baby's stomach and digestive tract are small, but they like to eat. When they are full and cannot speak, their body becomes uncomfortable. The problem of indigestion in babies needs to be solved in a timely manner, because if it accumulates in the stomach, it will increase the baby's stomach's carrying capacity. And lactase is a good treatment for regulating the intestines.
Lactase usually takes effect after a few days of consumption
1. Generally, the effect can be seen within two to three days. It mainly regulates the intestines, such as in cases of baby food accumulation and indigestion.
2. The general treatment time for lactase is about half a month. During this period, the amount of breastfeeding should be reduced, and lactose free milk powder should be mainly used. After the baby is completely recovered, the lactase should be gradually stopped. At this time, the use of lactose free milk powder should be gradually stopped to ensure sufficient nutrition for the baby.
3. Some babies have symptoms of congenital lactase deficiency, so from the moment they are born, their lactase activity in the body is lower or deficient than that of the general population, and they need to rely on lactase for treatment. During this period, they should not breastfeed to avoid affecting the baby's recovery and causing symptoms such as diarrhea.
The correct way to take lactase
1. Lactase itself exists on the surface of the small intestine mucosa and digests lactose in milk. If lactose is not hydrolyzed and digested by lactase in the small intestine, it will be digested by intestinal bacteria in the colon, producing a lot of gas and causing high osmotic diarrhea, which is lactose intolerance.
2. Diarrhea and other reasons can damage the lactase on the small intestinal mucosa. At this time, taking lactase 15 minutes before feeding can achieve the most ideal effect. Taking it with milk can be effective, but the effect is reduced.
3. In the case of regular breastfeeding, rinse with warm water (30-40 ℃) 5-15 minutes before each feeding; In the case of irregular breastfeeding, it is recommended to supplement every 3 hours during the day (recommended way of eating) and before each feeding at night.
As parents of a baby, it is necessary to strictly control the baby's diet, not be greedy, and stop trying every food. Parents should teach their babies how much to eat and how much to take. If they can't eat, they should tell their parents to avoid discomfort. Parents should tell them the dangers of overeating, and they will know that your strictness is good for them. I hope everyone can have a healthy and happy childhood with the company of their parents!
