Adults sometimes have indigestion due to overeating or catching a cold, so it is normal for babies to have bloating and indigestion, but babies cannot take medicine like adults. So it is better to regulate and relieve the symptoms through food.

What to do if your 10-month-old baby has abdominal distension and indigestion

If your baby has abdominal distension and indigestion, the following issues should be considered:

1. Is the amount of complementary food you eat too much?

It is true that many parents, especially grandparents, are always worried that their babies are not eating enough. If they feed their babies too much, it can easily cause indigestion.

Solution:

Arrange the amount of complementary food for your baby reasonably. If your baby doesn’t want to eat anymore, don’t always chase him for another bite.

2. Are you eating too much meat?

Meat supplementary food is not easy to digest, and if you eat too much, it can easily cause indigestion.

Solution:

Reasonably arrange the ratio of meat and vegetable complementary foods. When making complementary foods, you can make vegetables and meat together. You can give your baby some celery, spinach and other green vegetables to help digestion.

3. The problem of abdominal distension may be caused by eating too much gas-producing food, or teasing the baby while feeding, causing the baby to swallow more air.

Solution:

Foods such as radishes, beans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are easy to produce gas. During the period when the baby has abdominal distension, you can temporarily avoid eating these foods. After the abdominal distension is relieved, you can add them in small amounts.

Don't always tease your baby when he is eating complementary food.

What to do if your 10-month-old baby has indigestion?

10-month-old children can eat porridge, soft noodles, chopped vegetables, fish, meat, pork liver and other animal foods. However, if they have food accumulation, they need to adjust their diet structure and not eat too much of some foods. After food accumulation occurs, they need to control the amount of food they eat and eat soft, thin and easy-to-digest foods. For example: millet porridge, apple puree, dragon fruit puree, carrot puree, etc.

These methods can be used to alleviate:

1. Let your children exercise more, such as crawling, which helps digestion and absorption.

2. Massage your abdomen clockwise for 30 circles.

3. In this case, you should feed your baby digestive aids immediately. You can make some hawthorn granules for your baby to drink, probiotics, spleen-strengthening oral liquid, or chicken gizzard lining, which are all very good for your baby's food accumulation and indigestion.

4. For children’s massage, rub the coccyx and push up the seven vertebrae.

5. Stop high-protein foods for a few days.

6. In addition, parents should cultivate good eating habits for their babies, eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and avoid being too hungry or too full to avoid "food accumulation".

What are the symptoms of baby's indigestion?

The main symptoms of food accumulation are abdominal distension, constipation or sour and smelly stool, foul-smelling flatulence, sour and rancid belching, and abdominal distension and heat. If food accumulation lasts for a long time, it will lead to nutritional imbalance in children and affect their growth and development.

In addition, pay attention to whether the child has problems caused by indigestion, such as fever, cough, etc. Children with indigestion often have anorexia, poor eating habits, bad breath, bloating, stomach discomfort, unstable sleep, fever in the hands and feet, and even fever.
