1. What is "on fire"?
I often hear some parents say that when feeding their babies with milk powder, there is always a stool that takes two or three days to poop, and it is relatively dry, and at night it is more crying than before.
Parents are very puzzled, is it because of the milk powder?
In fact, "fire" is caused by the incomplete metabolism of food caused by insufficient digestive enzymes in the body, and some metabolites that are not completely decomposed in the body are not discharged from the body in time. The baby's "fire" is usually manifested in: flushing of the face, dry or sore throat, dry and sour stool, several days of incomprehensible stool, yellow and less urine, abdominal distension and discomfort, sour breath, red and swollen gums, reduced or no eating, irritability, and increased eye droppings. In the case of small babies, frequent eczema, spitting up, crying, and unstable sleep may occur.
2. What is the reason why the baby is "on fire"?
1. Milk powder is susceptible to contamination and deterioration. For example, improper storage of milk powder after opening the lid and failure to drink it in time after preparation will cause some contaminants to enter the milk powder. When the baby drinks these milk powders containing contaminants, the body will have certain adverse reactions, such as "fire", which is mainly due to the mild infection of bacteria in the body.
2. Insufficient autoimmunity. Since most families provide a relatively hygienic environment for babies, the immune stimulation of the body from the outside world is getting smaller and smaller, and the immune response will be delayed, and the symptoms similar to "fire" will appear when the "accumulation" is more.
3. Improper feeding by parents. Milk powder contains high-quality protein and is rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals, infant formula milk powder according to the baby's different age groups, the proportion of nutrients is also different, parents in the purchase, must be in strict accordance with the baby's growth stage to buy, and strictly follow the ratio of milk powder.
In addition, if you are feeding with fresh milk, you need to dilute it.
4. Stress occurs when transferring milk powder. Parents must pay attention to scientific milk transfer when transferring milk to their babies, and add a lot of water to their babies during the milk transfer period to cope with the discomfort and fire phenomenon of milk transfer.
3. What should parents do?
If you find that you have to clear the fire and extinguish the fire, this is actually a misunderstanding.
For the real practice of the baby on fire, parents should analyze the reasons for the baby's "fire", and remember to blindly use some "fire" products for the baby. Because there are many "fire-free" products that are not only not beneficial, but also cause additional burdens on the child's gastrointestinal tract.
1. Choose drinking fire-clearing products to increase the enzyme effect in the baby's body, however, parents must read the food label clearly when purchasing, and try to choose fire-clearing products containing chicken gold, orange peel and other ingredients.
2. Parents can appropriately increase supplementary food for it, it is best to chop spinach, cabbage, greens, purses, etc., put them in rice porridge and cook them together, make vegetable porridge for the baby to eat, and also make these ingredients into liquid nutritional paste. Due to the large amount of fiber and other food residues contained in vegetables, it can promote intestinal peristalsis and achieve the purpose of laxative.
3. The baby should be trained to develop the habit of normal defecation since childhood, and the baby's defecation is as important as eating. Eating is for the baby's survival and growth and development, and defecation enables the body's metabolic waste or harmful substances to be discharged from the body in time to avoid damage to the body. It is generally advisable to let your baby defecate after eating.
For example, set a time every day to let the baby sit on the toilet, even if there is no stool, let the baby sit for about ten minutes to build up.
The conditioned reflex of the convenience can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
