Question
What should I do when my 8-month-old baby cries and has a poor appetite?
Answer
Based on your description, it may be a spleen deficiency syndrome after infection in the child. The main symptoms include indigestion, weak spleen and stomach, lack of appetite, and abdominal bloating. It is recommended to try pediatric massage, such as pinching the spine and massaging the abdomen, which can be very effective and easily accepted by the child. In terms of diet, avoid overeating and try different flavors of food for the child. When feeding water, choose a moment when the child is happy. If the child resists congee, it can be temporarily stopped and not forced. Otherwise, it will make the child more resistant to eating.
