Question

Why do babies frequently urinate at night and have delayed language development?

Answer

From birth to nine months old, babies may have more frequent night urination, weak urine, and slower development compared to other children. This could be due to relaxation of the bladder sphincter. Traditional Chinese medicine divides this condition into types such as kidney Qi deficiency, spleen and lung Qi deficiency, liver meridian damp-heat, and heart-kidney disharmony. It is recommended to regularly consume foods that have the function of tonifying the kidneys and reducing urine, such as lamb, dog meat, shrimp, bird meat, turtle meat, field chicken, dog kidney, pig bladder, chicken intestines, pork backbone, pond fish, and chrysanthemum leaves. There are many causes of pediatric renal diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric renal disease, parents need to cooperate with doctors for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression ,and develop good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
