Question
An approximately one-month-old infant has recently shown a yellowish urine and exhibited crying and reluctance to eat during breastfeeding. Some suggest that this may be due to the baby’s memory of the toxemia. How should one help an infant eliminate toxemia?
Answer
Toxemia, in folk belief, is a common name for postpartum acute allergic severe illness. Modern medicine does not particularly advocate for the elimination of toxemia, but folk views suggest that it can be alleviated by reducing the intake of greasy, spicy, and other stimulating foods during pregnancy, supplementing a variety of vitamins and trace elements, and improving intestinal flora imbalance. If the baby is fed with formula milk, it is important to ensure timely and quantitative feeding and to provide water between feedings. For such situations, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for pediatric massage therapy.
