The baby's digestive system is not fully developed, and their gastrointestinal function is not yet fully developed. However, their body has a high demand for nutrition. Based on this situation, the baby's digestive function may not match the food they eat, which can easily lead to indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort. So, what are the symptoms of a baby's food accumulation?
Baby food accumulation often occurs during infancy and early childhood, mainly manifested as abdominal distension, dry or sour stools, belching and sourness, and abdominal distension. Long term accumulation of food can easily cause malnutrition in babies and affect their normal development. So when a baby accumulates food, parents can see that the baby is not sleeping well and often moves around.
Sometimes they grit their teeth, show obvious loss of appetite, and even parents can see their babies crying for unknown reasons. Parents can observe their baby's mouth. If their tongue coating is white and thick, and they can smell a sour smell, or even feel their baby's belly swollen, it indicates that the baby may have a problem with food accumulation. It is best to adjust the baby's body as soon as possible.
After the baby accumulates food, parents massage the baby's abdomen to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerate food digestion. So parents can place their hands around the baby's belly button and massage the belly clockwise, and at this point, they can hear the baby farting. In addition, parents can add probiotics to their baby's complementary food. Moderate consumption of probiotics can help babies regulate the balance of intestinal flora, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and prevent postprandial accumulation.
