The child always cries at night and does not grow up without sleeping. This 'gas' is the culprit
Every baby is a crybaby. Crying is nothing more than hunger. At least most young parents and mothers think so, and a small number of experienced parents know that a child's crying sometimes means that he is sending you a signal of physical discomfort!
Recently, a mother left me a message saying: The baby has been acting abnormally recently. When there is nothing, he always stretches out his hands, twists in various ways, and often looks red. The parents and the elderly say that this is the baby growing. In the editor's opinion, the child is completely a painful manifestation of overeating and constipation! In severe cases, the child still loves to hum, and even burst into tears.
The child is crying for no reason, and the parents must think that the child is hungry and needs to be fed!
But attentive mothers will find that the child stops drinking after only two mouthfuls, and begins to look like "no love", twisting and twisting. In fact, the baby does not know how to express his gastrointestinal discomfort, and can only hint to the parents through the body and emotions. At this time, the parents should know whether the child has accumulated food.
There are several common symptoms of food accumulation in children:
The complexion is red and dull
Blue veins appear on the bridge of the nose between the eyes
A sour smell in the mouth
Tongue becomes thick, greasy and yellow
Poor appetite, not eating
Accompanied by body heat
Bulky belly, bloating and abdominal pain
If the child appears at 2-3 of the above 7 points, parents should consider whether the child has accumulated food.
Today, the editor mainly wants you to understand the seventh point - abdominal distension, why does the child have abdominal distension?
The reason is very simple: the spleen and stomach are not fully developed when the baby is born, and there is no muscle in the abdomen to promote intestinal peristalsis, so the baby can easily suffer from indigestion, and the baby cannot walk and exercise less, unlike us as adults. People can expel gas through exhaust, and the gas in the baby's body can only rush in the intestines, thus causing abdominal bloating.
Although flatulent babies cry and make trouble, we are not helpless in the face of flatulence!
Four home-made methods to help your baby exhaust:
- During breastfeeding, mothers try to avoid eating foods that produce gas. Such as common: beans, sweet potatoes, nuts, etc. Our local saying goes well: "One sweet potato has three farts, and soy beans don't stop breathing", which means that these foods are easy to produce gas.
Second, massage. Rub your baby's belly every day, and gently massage the baby's belly clockwise for 10 minutes a day with the heated palms. You may hear the baby's exhaust sound after pressing.
Three, heat the stomach. Parents can take a little scallion and boil water, and use a hot towel dipped in water to apply hot compress on the baby's stomach. Parents who find it troublesome can use hot water instead. Be careful not to scald the child. The principle of hot compress is to keep the intestinal qi and blood of the child unobstructed, speed up the metabolism, and help to discharge the flatulence in the stomach.
Fourth, drink more "one clear". Yiqing mainly refers to "double oligomeric whey". My baby liked to accumulate food when he was a child. Later, the doctor asked him to drink it every once in a while, mainly to regulate the child's spleen and stomach and prevent accumulation of food, and it is not a medicine. The bifid factor contained in it can regulate the balance of the baby's intestinal flora and promote the operation of the spleen and stomach, mainly because my child likes to drink it because it tastes good. "Parents are also parents for the first time." Children don't accumulate food and get sick less often. Parents are really saving a lot of worries!
