How to prevent indigestion in babies? What is the best food to eat?

Children are often unaware of the cause of their discomfort, which often makes them feel even worse. Indescribable pain makes them very worried. The best treatment for indigestion caused by acid is to take effective preventive measures. Let the experts give advice on indigestion for your baby.

First, let your child eat a regular diet that suits her constitution. Make sure she doesn't eat too much at each meal and that the food doesn't contain too much fat or greasy food. Don't let your child eat too much chocolate or oranges, both of which can easily cause indigestion.

Teach your child to chew and swallow slowly when eating. Do not chew food too quickly (about ten seconds) to facilitate better digestion.

If your child has symptoms of indigestion, you may consider giving them some yeast tablets. Alkaline yeast tablets can neutralize excess stomach acid. But this is only a temporary way to relieve symptoms and is only effective for a short period of time. It cannot repair the damage to the esophagus caused by acid reflux. If these medicines are taken before meals, some solution will be left in the stomach, which can increase the surface tension of the stomach wall and reduce the potential for acid reflux.

H2 blockers can reduce the secretion of gastric acid. Thus preventing gastric reflux. Prevention is significantly less effective than treating pain. Omeprazole can not only treat excessive gastric acid secretion, but also treat the damage to the esophagus caused by acid reflux.

Another type of medication is designed to boost the overall digestive system's ability to function, based on increased gastric motility. However, this medication often has significant side effects, so if you use this medication, you should consult your pediatrician first.
