Preventing indigestion in infants

Pay attention to maintaining the child's appetite. Because eating is most beneficial only when you have an appetite. In order to maintain the child's good appetite, we must pay attention to the eating environment not being too noisy, not to mention watching TV while eating; be careful not to force eating or strictly restrict the child's diet; do not eat candy before meals; avoid the child eating too tired or nervous; the color, aroma and taste of the food should be attractive.

Do not feed alone. Do not always feed the same food. In addition, balanced nutrition can avoid partial eclipse. It is best to have meat and vegetables, and try to avoid irritating food.

The complementary food should be added from liquid to soft. For babies under 2 years old, the complementary food must be rotten, delicate and soft. For example, vegetables can be chopped, rotten and made into vegetable puree. For babies aged 2-3 years old, because they already have 16-20 deciduous teeth, the food can be a little coarser.

You can feed your child some easily digestible food, such as rice soup, noodle soup, egg cake, etc. Do a good job of food hygiene, do not let your child eat leftovers, leftovers and unclean food, and cover your child's belly on summer nights to prevent colds.
