Because babies are young and their digestive system is not yet fully developed, many of them tend to accumulate food if they eat too frequently or if they do not digest the food. However, massage can be considered a relatively effective method to alleviate baby's food accumulation. But what specific methods of massage can be used to relieve children's food accumulation without defecating?
1. If a child accumulates food, they can massage their abdomen clockwise. Pediatric indigestion is caused by the incomplete digestion of food in the baby's stomach, which prevents the baby's stool from being able to circulate and therefore cannot be pulled out. If parents can gently massage their babies' stomachs in one direction to help promote intestinal peristalsis and facilitate the digestion of food, it can alleviate the baby's food accumulation and make bowel movements much easier.
2. If children do not defecate, they can massage their intestines and stomach more. Babies who have difficulty defecating, and even have difficulty passing stool, are all caused by their accumulation of food, not eating well, or not matching food properly when eating. After parents learn the technique, finding the position of their baby's stomach and gently massaging them can relieve food accumulation. In addition, parents must pay extra attention to gently massage their babies, because babies are young and weak, and if the technique is too heavy, it may harm the baby.
