The baby is full of yang, has a strong metabolism and needs relatively more nutrition, but it also has a great burden on the gastrointestinal tract. If you eat too much every day, you will hurt your food. Eating food will accumulate heat, which will damage yin, lead to imbalance between yin and yang in the body and make it easy to get sick. Similarly, if you wear too much, the internal heat will come from you. If you sweat too much, your pores will always be open, and you will easily catch a cold.
Not only babies, but also adults are prone to overeating. Now that the conditions are good, you can order a takeaway at your fingertips, and you can eat delicious food when you go out casually. Many people will unconsciously eat too much. Including Bian Xiao himself, he often gets fat because he can't resist the temptation of food. Today, Bian Xiao will learn about the dangers of food accumulation to babies.
Harm 1, causing baby diarrhea.
Many novice mothers always have such a bad habit-feed their babies when they cry. Although, sometimes food can really satisfy the baby and stop crying. But more often, it is because the baby's digestive system is not perfect, and overeating and diarrhea are caused. Babies cry for many reasons, not always because they are hungry. However, I was frightened, or maybe I didn't sleep well. Mom and dad should estimate the baby's daily food intake slightly, and don't let the baby eat too much, which is counterproductive.
Hazard 2, lead to baby food accumulation.
The baby eats too much, except that it is excreted through diarrhea, and the rest can only be accumulated in the baby's stomach. If Ma Bao finds that the baby's stomach is chubby, and he has a bad appetite for several days and can't eat any food, then the baby is probably hoarding food. And the harm of food accumulation is really terrible.
Food accumulation leads to cough. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the source of phlegm and the lung is the reservoir of phlegm. Food accumulation is too long, spleen and stomach are weak, and it is easy to produce phlegm for a long time, leading to cough. Accumulated food leads to fever. The food you eat is stuck in the coke. If it stagnates for a long time, it will be converted into heat. If the hot air is steamed inside, the child's temperature will go up. Food accumulation leads to constipation. Excessive satiety damages the spleen → spleen is often insufficient → spleen and stomach are not well transported → intestinal fu-organs are stagnant → accumulated heat → accumulated heat → intestinal conduction disorder → constipation is blocked. Accumulation of food leads to night sweats. Food accumulation in stomach → steaming stagnation in heat → steaming body fluid in heat → sweating. Food accumulation leads to anemia. Accumulation of food easily leads to spleen deficiency, and spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, so children are prone to blood deficiency if they accumulate food for a long time. Food accumulation leads to crying. "If the stomach is not harmonious, it will be uneasy." So there are: food accumulation → qi stagnation → fullness, abdominal pain → insomnia. In addition, stagnation will turn into heat → disturbing the heart and spleen → screaming.
Poor living conditions, lack of food and clothing. And the living conditions are good, so we tend to eat too much and wear too warm clothes. Parents should always remind themselves not to eat too much for themselves or their babies. The following seven symptoms can help you determine whether you are accumulating food:
First, from the perspective of appetite.
The child has a bad appetite and doesn't want to eat anything; Children have a big appetite and often clamor for hunger, but when they eat a little, they are full and their stomachs will not digest. The child has a big appetite and can eat especially, but he is still very thin.
Second, look at the tongue coating.
Many parents know that babies with food accumulation will have a thick tongue coating in the middle (especially in the middle and back of the tongue)-some will even get thicker, and some babies will only have a layer of coin-like yellow coating in the middle of the tongue, and there is no tongue coating around. Although there is also food accumulation, this situation is often not a simple food accumulation, usually accompanied by spleen and stomach yin injury. In addition, if the child's tongue coating is not ruddy and white, it is also a symptom of food accumulation.
Third, judging from the smell in the child's mouth.
Babies who accumulate food generally have bad breath in their mouths, which is caused by unhealthy stomach gas, and sensitive parents may find it. This is because the food accumulated in the body will lead to the loss of control of the stomach and intestines, and the indigestion of food will make it sour and produce an unpleasant sour taste.
Fourth, look at the palm temperature.
Babies who pile up food tend to get hot palms and even sweat, but the back of their hands is not hot.
Fifth, always shout stomachache.
Some children often complain about stomachache or discomfort. When they are not fed, their stomachs swell when they touch them, and most of them are food accumulation.
Sixth, from the perspective of sleep.
Babies who accumulate food often like to sleep on their stomach when they sleep, and they are often accompanied by restless sleep at night. In addition, babies who accumulate food often sleep very restlessly, and children may dance, grit their teeth and turn over.
Seventh, look at the bags under the eyes
Children who usually like to eat meat, eating too much meat leads to long-term accumulation of meat, and often have bags under their eyes and dark red. In this case, children often accumulate stagnation for a long time, which has hurt spleen and stomach yin.
