Is baby's spitting up milk caused by indigestion? What are the treatment methods for indigestion in children?

Infant indigestion is a very serious phenomenon. Infant indigestion is very common. So what are the causes of child stunting?

1. The food given is not easy to digest. Since babies have poor digestive ability, parents should give them food that they can digest, absorb and are willing to accept according to their age characteristics. On the one hand, parents should gradually change their diet from liquid to semi-liquid (such as rice soup, paste food, porridge, etc.) and solid food (such as soft rice, bread, etc.) according to the different age characteristics of their children. Babies under 3 months old have different digestive organs than adults, and they need to digest starch.

2. Poor ability requires special attention; for infants under 2 years old, the added complementary food must be rotten, delicate and soft; for children aged 2-3 years old, the food can be a little thicker.

3. Giving too much new food. For example, some children eat shrimp for the first time and think it tastes good, so they eat a lot at once, which results in indigestion. Therefore, when parents let infants and young children try a new food, they should let them adapt slowly. Do not give too much at a time, but increase it gradually to allow the child to adapt.

Parents should understand the main causes of indigestion, know the symptoms, and seek timely treatment. So, what are the symptoms of indigestion in children?
