Some people say that babies are more likely to have diarrhea in summer. Is this true?
Since the baby was born, the mother has started a worrying mode, worrying that the baby will get sick, but sometimes the more afraid she is, the more she will get sick. Because of her weak constitution, the baby often gets sick, especially some seasonal diseases are very common. For example, babies are prone to diarrhea in summer, and some mothers think that their children have diarrhea because they have eaten something, which is not a serious disease and will not be particularly concerned. This idea is completely wrong. If children's diarrhea is caused by bacterial infection, it will cause complications, such as dehydration and electrolyte disorder, viral myocarditis, malnutrition and so on. Therefore, the baby must pay more attention to summer diarrhea. First, the diet is too cold
In hot weather, mothers like to give their babies all kinds of fruits and cold dishes to help them cool down. But if the baby eats too much cold food, the stomach is easily crushed. Cold can stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa contraction, reduce gastric acid secretion, affect digestion, and cause indigestion or loss of appetite. At the same time, the cold will also lead to the acceleration of intestinal movement, and the digested food will pass through the intestine faster, thus affecting the absorption of nutrients, increasing the number of defecation, diarrhea and vomiting. As far as raw fruits and vegetables are concerned, the chances of children eating raw fruits and vegetables in summer are greatly increased. In addition to the fact that fruits and vegetables are easily contaminated by bacteria, pesticide residues are also easy to induce children to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases. Second, the body catches cold < P > Cold is also one of the causes of infantile diarrhea. For example, taking a bath after sweating is easy for a baby to catch a cold. In addition, when the baby is sleeping, if the stomach is not warm, it is easy to catch cold and cause diarrhea. And because it is too hot in summer, mothers often let their babies stay in air-conditioned places. In fact, because the doors and windows of air-conditioned rooms are closed for a long time, the indoor fresh air content is low, and the baby is prone to fatigue after staying for a long time. In addition, long-term exposure to cold and dry air will reduce the resistance of respiratory tract and digestive tract, and some viruses and bacteria will take advantage of it, causing upper respiratory tract infection and diarrhea. Iii. unhealthy diet
in summer, bacteria will multiply and grow rapidly. When the food we prepare for our baby is not stored properly, it is easy to be contaminated by bacteria and cause intestinal infection. If mom doesn't pay attention, all kinds of food and water can easily deteriorate or be contaminated by germs. In addition, the baby's hygiene concept is poor, and his small hands are often dirty, so when he reaches for food and puts it in his mouth, bacteria also enter together.
