Can baby eat pumpkin to have diarrhea

First, the medicinal value of pumpkin is Buzhong Yiqi, but it also has a certain effect on constipation. The mannitol contained in pumpkin has the effect of defecation, so if the baby's digestion is not good, try not to eat pumpkin, which may cause diarrhea, and pay attention to keep warm and avoid the baby catching cold.

Second, the baby's digestive capacity has a certain limit, if the food to eat exceeds the capacity, diarrhea will occur. Due to the differences in eating habits, health status and individual differences, some mothers' milk contains more nutrients (mainly fat) than the baby's needs, which will make the baby have diarrhea, which is commonly known as "physiological diarrhea".

Third, if the baby has no other symptoms except the increased frequency of defecation, good appetite, no vomiting, and the growth and development is not affected, it is not caused by disease. After adding supplementary food, the stool will gradually turn to normal, and the mother does not have to worry too much. "Physiological diarrhea" baby without drug treatment, generally give the baby to eat milk or other dairy products can work.

matters needing attention

Do not fast when infants have diarrhea. No matter what the cause of diarrhea is, although the digestive tract function of infants is reduced, some nutrients can still be digested and absorbed. Therefore, breast fed infants should continue to feed as long as they want to eat.
