Question
The 8-month-old baby often vomits and has abdominal bloating after breastfeeding and consuming rice porridge. The baby also feels heavy-headed, sleeps restlessly at night, cries easily, has slightly yellow hair, and is thin.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may be suffering from poor digestion, malnutrition, deficiencies in calcium and zinc. It is recommended to keep the baby’s abdomen warm and provide appropriate complementary foods. You can use 0.5 grams each of ginseng, atractylodes, dried ginger, and licorice, mixed with ginger juice, and apply it to the baby’s navel once a day for a week. In addition, it is suggested to supplement with gluconate zinc and calcium. These suggestions are offered in hopes of helping you, wishing the baby good health!
