Question
The baby is about to turn ten months old, and he only drinks milk without eating. Could it be indigestion?
Answer
Indigestion is a common condition in infants under one year old, characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, burping, and vomiting. Chronic indigestion may affect the baby’s growth and development, leading to weight loss, yellowish complexion, and anemia. If the baby exhibits these symptoms, it is advisable to take the child to a doctor for a check-up and make simple dietary adjustments as prescribed by the physician, such as increasing carbohydrate intake and reducing the consumption of high-fat and high-protein foods.
