Question
What kind of food is good for babies with spleen deficiency?
Answer
When a baby has spleen deficiency, it’s beneficial to include foods like tofu, pumpkin, corn, bananas, and to avoid spicy and cold foods. For diarrhea and loss of appetite caused by spleen deficiency, you can try making congee with ingredients like lotus seeds, rice, mung beans, and others. Additionally, it’s best to limit the intake of foods like buckwheat, hawthorn, and carrots that may drain the spleen energy.
