If a baby has spleen deficiency, their appetite will become poor, their complexion will turn yellow, their spirit will be weak, they will easily sweat, and they may even experience bloating and diarrhea. If left untreated and improved, it will affect the baby's nutrient absorption and hinder their physical development. So, what should be done for a one year old baby with spleen deficiency?
Firstly, eat less cold foods. Eat less raw and cold food such as herbal tea, ice cream and cold drinks. It is best to give up. At the same time, touch less cold fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, snow pear, mangosteen, pitaya, watermelon, cabbage and horseshoe. Other examples include apples and longans. It is recommended to eat more mild foods such as cherries, grapes, cauliflower, and pumpkin.
Parents can also add some spleen strengthening herbs when cooking, such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Cishi, Yunling, hawthorn, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, longan meat, walnuts, red dates, and five fingered peaches. But parents should not be too impatient. They should add herbs every time. If there is less, there will be more. If there is more, there will be four flavors. If there is soup and Congee, the effect will be better.
In addition, parents can also give their babies massages to nourish their spleen and stomach, such as spinal massage, colon tonifying, massaging the uterus, pressing the foot three miles, pushing the spleen soil, kneading the plank door, and massaging the abdomen. These massage methods can help babies treat spleen deficiency, but parents should not use too much force when massaging their babies, and the hand temperature should not be too low to avoid the baby catching a cold in the stomach. They should also not use too much force to massage too quickly.
