What are the reasons for poor digestion in babies? Let's take a look together.
What should I do if my baby doesn't digest food
1. Identify the root cause of the baby's indigestion through observation. Parents must determine whether their baby's indigestion is caused by illness or improper diet before taking measures.
If indigestion is caused by a baby's illness, parents need to carefully regulate the baby's body after finding the cause. If the baby's indigestion is caused by weak spleen and stomach, it is recommended to give the baby Longmu Zhuanggu Granules. This is a compound preparation of Chinese and Western medicine, which has the effects of invigorating the spleen and stomach. It adopts traditional Chinese medicine theory to formulate formulas, selecting thirteen precious medicinal herbs such as oysters, dragon bones, chicken inner gold, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Poria cocos. It can comprehensively regulate the spleen and stomach, promote the comprehensive and balanced absorption of nutrients in the diet, and quickly improve symptoms such as anorexia, loss of appetite, indigestion, and delayed development in babies, which is very helpful for their growth and development.

4. Let the baby rest more and ensure sufficient sleep time.
5. It is possible to add some digestive foods, such as hawthorn, to accelerate digestion.
Reasons why babies cannot digest food
1. Insufficient physiological development. Babies are too young, their digestive organs have not fully developed, and they cannot secrete enough digestive fluids. In addition, their enzyme function is incomplete, and the mucous membranes in the digestive system are fragile, resulting in poor digestive function.
2. Improper feeding. Parents do not make choices before feeding their children, resulting in a wide variety of foods for the baby. Over time, this can harm the baby's digestive system and cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. In this case, the baby will show symptoms such as bloating, milk overflow, diarrhea, and the feces will be sour and smelly, mixed with a large amount of undigested food residue.
3. Other reasons. In addition to the above reasons, factors such as poor resistance, decreased temperature, and cold stomach can all cause indigestion in babies.
From the above content, it can be seen that there are many reasons for a baby's poor digestion. In addition to the immature development of the baby's digestive organs, another important reason is improper feeding by the mother, which is actually crucial. The baby's own reasons cannot be changed, but the mother's feeding method can be changed. I hope the mother finds a suitable way.
