Sometimes babies may experience indigestion due to improper diet or catching a cold. Babies with this symptom often do not eat properly, sometimes accompanied by bloating, abdominal pain, and abnormal bowel movements. So, what if the baby can't digest it?
1. If there is undigested food residue in a baby's bowel movements, it belongs to mild indigestion, which can be improved through dietary adjustments. In the near future, it is important to encourage babies to eat small amounts at each meal and adopt a strategy of eating small, multiple meals to regulate their diet.
2. It is also necessary to control the types of food and encourage babies to eat easily digestible foods. For example, in the near future, we should eat less eggs and foods with high sweetness, especially some fried foods, and try to consume them as little as possible. If you are just starting to add baby food, you should also be careful not to eat complementary foods such as beef floss and fish floss.
3. If the baby has undigested substances during bowel movements and is accompanied by abdominal pain and severe diarrhea, it is recommended to seek medical attention to rule out whether there is intestinal disorder causing digestive abnormalities. The most common type is pediatric enteritis, so it is necessary to clarify the cause and treat it accordingly.
4. Pay attention to keeping warm in daily life. When babies have indigestion, they should pay attention to keeping warm, which can also have a certain improvement effect. Some cases of indigestion are often caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction due to catching a cold in the abdomen, so it is also important to keep the baby's abdomen warm. If it is caused by catching a cold, you can use hot water to apply hot compress around the baby's belly button, which can also relieve abdominal pain and indigestion.
