Question
What to eat for a child with weak spleen? The child has been crying and fussing a lot lately, and doesn’t eat much.
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to ensure the child’s diet is consistent and avoid arbitrarily adding new foods. This means having meals at regular times, without overfeeding. Aim for three main meals a day. Snacks, dairy products, and fruits should be prohibited (even fruits are prohibited in cases of very poor diet), and establish a better eating habit for the child—three meals a day without snacks. This way, when it’s time for meals, the child will feel hungry, making feeding relatively easier.
