Question

How should an infant’s diet be adjusted for indigestion?

Answer

For infants suffering from indigestion, the following dietary recommendations can be adopted:

  1. Gradually increase the intake of complementary foods, choosing easily digestible and absorbable foods.
  2. Maintain a balanced diet, properly matching various nutrients.
  3. Eat on time and in appropriate amounts, starting with small portions and gradually increasing.
  4. Begin with single foods and gradually introduce a variety of items. If the infant is diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease, immediate medical treatment should be sought, and gastrointestinal decompression should be performed. At the same time, parents should pay attention to cultivating good hygiene habits and avoid allowing children to develop picky eating habits.
