For most babies, due to weak gastrointestinal function, they often experience symptoms of diarrhea and diarrhea. During diarrhea in babies, parents need to pay extra attention to the food their babies eat, as some foods cannot be eaten during diarrhea. So, what should babies pay attention to when they have diarrhea?
If the baby is experiencing diarrhea, it is best to follow the principle of small meals and multiple meals, and supplement water to prevent dehydration. When a baby experiences diarrhea, the first step is to provide sufficient fluids to prevent dehydration. If the baby is still too young, it is advisable to supplement with oral rehydration salts after each diarrhea, which can effectively prevent dehydration.
At the same time, adults and children should appropriately reduce the baby's food intake and the frequency of their meals, and try to eat fewer and more meals. This is just controlling the baby's diet, not completely fasting the baby. When a baby has diarrhea, parents should not feed them too frequently. They should wait for the food in the baby's stomach to be fully digested and emptied in order to reduce the pressure on the gastrointestinal tract caused by food. In addition, it is important to pay attention to a light and nutritious diet, and not to let children eat stimulating foods such as raw, cold, spicy, etc.
When a baby has diarrhea, try to give them safe food and high protein and liquid foods because these foods are easy to digest and nutritious. It is best for food to be cooked and warm, so that babies can eat it without causing irritation to their digestive system. After the baby's diarrhea is relieved, if the baby wants to eat other food, it can also be given to the baby, preferably allowing the food to stay in the baby's stomach for a longer time.
In addition, one should pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm in daily life, or use a hot water bag to apply to the abdomen or wrap the abdomen with a towel. Additionally, it is important to note that in future diets, babies should not be given large amounts of fish and meat for several consecutive days, and they should not frequently consume fried foods. If the food a baby eats is not proportional to their physical activity, they may not be able to digest it in a timely manner, which can cause a burden. So, when supplementing nutrition for children, they should eat less meat and more vegetables, and not eat too much fish and meat every meal, which can easily cause indigestion.
