Digestive disorders in babies can lead to poor eating habits, but some babies may also experience drowsiness while not eating properly. This situation can make parents feel puzzled, sometimes even if they wake up their baby, their mental state is not good. So why do babies become drowsy when they accumulate food?
Accumulated food can cause a decline in physical function, as it is caused by indigestion, which makes it difficult to provide sufficient nutrients for the body. As a result, after the decline in physical function, babies may experience poor mental and physical health, which can lead to drowsiness. Moreover, overeating can also cause discomfort in the digestive system and make it easier for babies to have poor mental states, resulting in more sleep.
For the baby's accumulated food, timely adjustment and treatment are necessary. As parents, you can give the baby hot compress and massage on the abdomen. You can wrap a hot water bag with a towel to apply hot compress, and then combine it with massage around the navel to accelerate the baby's gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote digestion. You should also feed the baby some warm water in moderation.
For babies who sleep too much, it is necessary to wake them up in a timely manner and engage in some physical activity to accelerate the breakdown and digestion of accumulated food. The lower the amount of exercise, the more unfavorable it is for the recovery of indigestion, so moderate activity can also be helpful in regulating the gastrointestinal tract and reducing food accumulation.
