Question
My child is one month old, and they want to eat every hour or so. What should I do?
Answer
It’s advisable to check for iron deficiency and possible digestive issues. Consider trying oral zinc gluconate and Shanmai Jianpi oral liquid. Avoid using monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, as these can easily lead to iron deficiency and reduce appetite. Additionally, be sure to control snacking. There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
