| Little bookworm mom
During the holidays, children have the happiest time, not only can have fun, but also can eat a variety of food. As my second treasure said: "Mom, I really want to spend the New Year every day, I can play every day, and eat food every day!" ”
While the child is happy, the problem comes quickly. In the past few days, Erbao's appetite has suddenly shrunk, and he can't get up with his appetite when he sees the food he loves to eat, and he often says that his stomach is bloated and his stomach hurts, and when he sleeps, his body always keeps turning. As the saying goes, "Eat badly, sleep restlessly".
Judging from the child's various performances, I know that the child has eaten too much and has accumulated food. Therefore, I quickly followed the methods I learned and the experience I accumulated to help my children consume food.
Why is it that babies are prone to accumulation of food?
For children, eating their favorite food will be particularly happy and satisfied. Therefore, they have no self-control in their diet, and as long as they see the food they love to eat, they will not be able to stop eating. During the Spring Festival, in the face of delicious food, it is very difficult for innocent children to control their small mouths, and they will eat too much if they are not careful.
The child eats too much, or is too nutritious, exceeding the maximum digestion and absorption function of the spleen and stomach. At this time, many foods cannot be digested and absorbed in time. In this way, it will damage the function of the spleen and stomach, making the digestion and absorption function worse, thus forming a food accumulation.
If your child has accumulated food, if you do not help your child consume food in time, the harm is far beyond your imagination. One area of food will damage the spleen and stomach function, long-term accumulation of food can easily induce malnutrition in children, affecting growth and development. Therefore, as parents, once we find that our children appear, we must help our children consume food in time.
So, how to observe whether the child has accumulated food?
In the process of raising children, I will constantly read books and learn summaries. Combined with my baby's experience, I concluded that the baby's accumulation of food often has these manifestations:
The baby's appetite suddenly becomes worse: if the baby usually has a good appetite, suddenly does not like to eat or the time to eat is prolonged;
Your baby's lips will suddenly turn red: your baby's lips will suddenly turn red, just like lipstick, and the face will easily turn red, which usually condenses into a piece.
Baby's tongue becomes thicker: Usually when feeding, the mother can observe the baby's tongue, if the tongue becomes thicker and greasier, the tongue is white and thick, and you can smell the sour rot in the exhaled breath.
Sleep unsteadily at night: Babies who have accumulated food often sleep unsteadily at night, their bodies are always rolling around, and sometimes they will cry.
Stool changes: Babies with accumulated food will have more times to defecate, and the stool will be more smelly, and it will emit a rotten rotten egg smell, which is very bad.
The above is based on my experience in the process of parenting, parents can observe whether the baby has accumulated food according to the above performances. If it is found in daily life that the baby has accumulated food, parents must help the baby to consume food in a timely and active manner, so that the baby is not affected.
After the baby accumulates food, how should parents cope?
After the baby accumulates food, the mother can properly feed some light food, let the baby drink more water, and never give the baby a high-fat, high-calorie food, because this kind of food will make the baby's accumulation of food worse. During the period when my child had accumulated food, I also used the following 4 methods to help my child consume food.
(1) Eat less or eat easily digestible foods
Appropriately reduce the amount of food for your baby, so that it can be stopped. Do a good job of rationality in the diet structure, eat more digestible and easily absorbed foods, eat less meat, and eat more vegetables and fruits, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.
For example, I will make some easily digestible yam rice porridge (rice or small yellow rice), white radish porridge, apple hawthorn water, etc. for the baby to consume.
(2) Diet should be regular, on time, according to the amount
The gastrointestinal tract will also have a biological clock, and if it is disrupted, it will affect the normal movement of digestive function. For example, because of work, we adults have no way to guarantee three meals a day on time and in quantity, and the gastrointestinal tract will soon "protest", and the baby's gastrointestinal tract is the same.
Therefore, I will let the baby's three meals a day be quantified regularly, try not to let the baby be hungry and full, and ensure that the baby's diet is regular.
(3) Do not let the baby eat too much for dinner
Baby's dinner, don't let him eat too much. Due to the large amount of activity and fast digestion of the baby during the day, but the amount of exercise at night is small, the stomach is slow, and if you eat too full, it is easy to cause food accumulation, therefore, the dinner should not eat too full, even if you drink milk, you must have more water and less milk powder.
(4) Let the baby do appropriate outdoor exercise during the day
Exercise helps digestion and I will insist on taking my children to do proper outdoor activities. Now that the winter is relatively cold, we can choose when the sun is good and the wind is light, let the children go out for half an hour to an hour every day, run, jump, climb. After a walk after a meal, take your baby for a gentle walk for half an hour to an hour.
The mother of the little bookworm warmly reminds that the baby's accumulation of food is mostly caused by improper feeding by parents. If parents take good care of them, there is generally no problem of accumulated food, so parents should pay careful attention, and parents should also find the most suitable method for the baby, take good care of the baby, and let the baby thrive.
