Question

The 8-month-old baby frequently flips and sleeps on their stomach during naptime, showing symptoms of a stuffy nose with veins and sparse hair. Despite adequate feeding, the baby remains thin, suggesting indigestion. The parent inquires about the possible causes and solutions for this situation.

Answer

This condition in the baby may be due to various constitution defects caused by congenital deficiency, leading to weakened spleen and stomach functions, thereby affecting nutrient absorption. It is recommended that parents take the baby for comprehensive nourishment, including acupuncture health care and herbal medicine plastering at acupoints, which may help improve the baby’s constitution and digestion issues.
