Why is it easy for babies to catch fire when changing seasons
It is said that when the season changes, women will be distressed: last year's clothes simply do not match the present self [haughty face].
However, as soon as the season changes, the women who are mothers are distressed: the baby will be on fire again, and constipation, confusion and digestive discomfort will follow.
Why is it so easy for a new season baby to catch fire?
One of the most common symptoms of a baby's' burning 'is constipation, weather changes, changes in work and rest, as well as changes in diet during the season.
There will be a large number of new seasonal ingredients in spring, which is a good opportunity for babies to try new complementary food; in addition, the temperature is warmer, and the body feeling is more suitable, which is also the 'golden period' of weaning and weaning. However, just because of these changes in diet, it will also bring great challenges to the baby's tender stomach. Weaning time, milk transfer time and new complementary food addition are the most likely time to trigger the baby's' fire '. If the baby's young intestines and stomach don't adapt to it or adapt slowly, it will easily lead to indigestion, burning of accumulated food, halitosis, eye droppings, dry stools and other problems.
How to prevent the baby from catching fire in the new season?
For exclusively breastfed babies, there is little chance of burning symptoms such as constipation. Breast milk itself can well meet the nutritional needs of newborn babies, and can adapt to the digestion ability of infant intestines and stomach. Oligosaccharides in breast milk can effectively resist intestinal harmful bacteria, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and help soften defecation. The 'prebiotics' commonly added to formula are also designed to mimic this oligosaccharide in human milk.
All in all, in order to reduce the situation of fire, please insist on exclusive breastfeeding at least until the baby is half a year old.
If a breast-feeding baby has a stool once every two or three days, the mother should not be too flustered, which is likely to be affected by your diet. Breastfeeding mothers should drink more water, at least 1.5kg of water per day; the diet should be balanced, protein food should not eat too much, eat more vegetables and fruits, which are helpful to alleviate the constipation problem of the baby.
For babies who have already added complementary food, once the diet is adjusted (such as trying to eat new food) or the collocation is unbalanced, it is easy to cause indigestion and burning of accumulated food. To help the baby stay away from the fire, the mother needs to do the following 5 jobs:
Let the baby develop the habit of drinking water
The habit of drinking water is best to start training at the beginning of complementary food addition, do not wait for the baby to be thirsty before feeding water, because when the baby is thirsty, in fact, the water in the body is probably out of balance.
If your baby doesn't like boiled water, try adding some fresh juice to the water.
(Note: babies aged 0-6 months usually don't need to feed water, and the water in the milk can meet their needs.)
Let baby eat more fruits and vegetables
If the baby is picky about food, he always likes to eat meat instead of vegetables. He eats too little dietary fiber, and his stomach is lack of stimulation, which is easy to lead to the accumulation of food and fire, and the stool is not smooth. The foods rich in dietary fiber include whole grains (such as corn, oats, millet), beans, fruits, vegetables and potatoes, which can be added to the baby step by step.
Develop your baby's exercise habits
The less active the baby is, the greater the risk of constipation. Having your baby move more (crawling, walking, even rolling back and forth) can help promote the movement of food in the digestive system and help defecate. If the baby is very small, you can try to gently do leg exercises for the baby and push the knee alternately to the abdomen, which is also helpful.
Help your baby develop defecation habits
When the baby arrives at the stage of toilet training (generally 18-24 months old), he may have constipation. When you notice signs that your baby is going to go to the toilet, encourage your baby to keep sitting on the toilet until there is defecation or sitting for 15 minutes, so that your baby knows how to urinate on the toilet.
Massage your baby's abdomen
Massage your baby's abdomen clockwise at the right time every day, especially the lower abdomen. If you touch the cord, gently massage from top to bottom to promote defecation.
