Does putting belly button stickers on babies with diarrhea work?

All babies will have diarrhea, which can be divided into physiological and pathological. There are many reasons that can cause diarrhea in babies. If it is physiological, it will get better on its own. If it is pathological diarrhea, you may need to pay attention. Babies are very young and cannot take medicine casually, so you can choose diet therapy to treat it. So, does it work to put belly button stickers on babies when they have diarrhea?

Can I use belly button stickers when my baby has diarrhea?

If it is mild diarrhea, it will be somewhat effective, but if it is more severe diarrhea, the plaster can only be an auxiliary treatment and the effect is not very obvious.

Baby diarrhea remedies:

1. Fry 50g millet until fragrant, then grind into fine powder. 2-3 grams/time, 2-3 times/day.

2. Grind 10 grams of egg shell, 10 grams of tangerine peel and 10 grams of chicken gizzard lining (fried until yellow) into fine powder. 1-2 grams/time, 3/day.

3. Take 2 grams of tea leaves and 3 grams of fennel, decocted in water and taken 2-3 times a day.

4. 10 grams of eggplant root and 3 slices of ginger, decocted in water and taken 1-2 times a day.

5. Take 10 grams of barley teeth and 2 slices of ginger, decocted in water and taken 1-2 times a day.

6. 50 grams of rice bran and 50 grams of dried persimmon, fry until yellow and grind into powder. 2-3 grams/time, 2-3 times/day.

If your baby's diarrhea is not very serious, you can boil some carrot water for the baby to drink, massage the baby's belly button, circle the baby's belly button counterclockwise with your fingers, or steam an apple and give the baby applesauce, all of which can stop diarrhea. If the baby has severe diarrhea, he needs to take oral rehydration salts, Smectite (montmorillonite powder) and intestinal probiotics, or buy lactase tablets from the pharmacy. These have no side effects on the baby and are a must-have for the family.

Baby's diet for diarrhea

1. Don’t eat sweets. Many mothers like to put some sugar in porridge or rice soup so that the baby can eat it deliciously. However, this will only aggravate diarrhea, because diarrhea damages the intestinal mucosa and makes it impossible to break down sugar into monosaccharides that can be absorbed by the intestines. As a result, water passively enters the intestine from the intestinal wall, increasing the frequency of bowel movements.

2. Do not feed your children fruits and vegetables, because these things can promote intestinal motility, which will only aggravate the symptoms of diarrhea when the child is suffering from diarrhea.

3. When children have diarrhea, do not eat some protein foods, because these things will cause bloating, so they should not be eaten.

4. Do not eat fatty foods during diarrhea, such as fat, lard, butter, mutton fat, cream, animal offal, etc., which contain a lot of fat, which will aggravate diarrhea, cause loose bowels, prolonged diarrhea, etc. In addition, the amount of vegetable oil used in cooking should not be too large, as large amounts can aggravate diarrhea.

5. When a child has diarrhea, do not feed him or her difficult-to-digest foods, such as candied fruits, pine nuts, almonds, melon seeds, etc.
