Since the appearance of the baby, moms must closely monitor their diets. After all, a product eaten by a mother can provoke an upset stomach in a newborn baby. Usually babies suffer with colic in the abdomen before the onset of three months of age. After all, the digestive system of the newborn only begins to adapt to the digestion of food, and previously the sterile stomach of the baby is actively populated with microorganisms. Therefore, if in the first days of life the child has diarrhea, do not worry, this is an adequate reaction of the body crumbs. In addition, indigestion can be caused by frequent feeding, eating, eating by mom or intolerance to milk. To save the baby from pain in the tummy, try using the following methods:

• Attach a warm, iron-ironed diaper to the tummy.
• During colic, do the baby massage the abdomen or just stroke the stomach clockwise. If this does not work, use a gas pipe.
• Spread the baby on the stomach every time before feeding, this helps to eliminate the gases.
• Take care that during eating the baby does not swallow air.
• To prevent colic use special children's teas with dill or fennel.

The older child's digestive system is already sufficiently formed, however, it is still difficult to fully digest food for her. Salivary glands, stomach, liver and pancreas are not yet ready to digest, followed by absorption of the food that an adult uses. Therefore, at the feast, try to cook dishes that are familiar to the child, which would not cause indigestion in the child. Do not feed the baby pate in vacuum packs containing nitrates and salt sausage products, shop dumplings, chips, chocolates and curds containing dyes.

• Rice water or boiled rice without oil, tea from chamomile and freshly prepared jelly.
• Raisin water. To make it, you need to brew white raisins and during the day give the child to drink some water.
• Antidiarrhoeal preparation Smecta.
• Abundant drink.
