Symptoms of indigestion in six-month-old baby

Six-month-old babies are relatively small and their bodies are still very weak. Their spleen and stomach functions are not fully developed, and the food they eat cannot be digested quickly, which can easily cause food accumulation. When babies have indigestion, they will experience symptoms such as increased internal heat, burning of body fluids, and persistent fever. Because babies cannot speak yet, they will cry incessantly when they feel unwell, and they will also sleep uneasily, tossing and turning. At this time, mothers should pay attention and take effective measures. Let's learn about it together.

   Massage therapy

   Mothers can use pressing and kneading techniques to solve food indigestion for their babies. Kneading is a common treatment method in pediatrics. Because the part being kneaded is the spine, it is also called "pinching the spine." It can treat many common diseases, including anorexia, abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, as well as irritability, restless sleep, crying, etc. Below are the steps of massage therapy. Moms, hurry up and learn it!

   1. Pinch the spine: Let the baby lie flat with face down, and parents use the thumb, index finger and middle finger of both hands to pinch both sides of the spine, press as they pinch, from bottom to top, and then from top to bottom, pinch 3-5 times, once every night.

   2. Rub Zhongwan: The Zhongwan acupoint is halfway between the line between the center of the chest and the navel. Parents should use the base of their palms to rotate and massage twice a day.

   3. Massage Yongquan acupoint: The center of the sole of the foot is the Yongquan acupoint. Parents should press the Yongquan acupoint with their thumb and rotate and massage it 30-50 times, twice a day.

   Exercise therapy

   After a half-hour rest after a meal, you can take a proper walk to promote gastrointestinal digestion and motility, which will help your baby avoid indigestion and promote parent-child affection. Here are some recommendations for your baby:

   1. Outdoor sports. On weekdays, you can choose to go out for activities in sunny weather. The bright sunshine can keep your baby warm while playing, while also promoting the body's absorption of calcium and avoiding indigestion, killing two birds with one stone. Parks and playgrounds are great places to take your baby out to play.

   2. Take a walk after dinner. Never let your baby lie in bed after eating. Parents can take the baby for a walk to help the baby digest.
