 Disorders of the stomach and intestines in infants.


Disruption of the stomach and intestines is one of the most fruitful sources of childhood diseases. Just prevent their disorder, and all other things being equal, the child will be healthy and thriving, and will not need the help of doctors or doctors.

Many reasons can lead to these feelings; many belong to the mother’s system, and others belong to the child’s system. All of them can avoid or correct them. Therefore, the mother mustn’t be ignorant or misinformed about this. However, it is the Prevention of these feelings that will be discussed here; let the mother always keep in mind and act on the principle that the Prevention of the disease belongs to her alone; treatment is for the doctor. For clarity and reference, these disorders will be mentioned when they occur:

To the baby at the breast.

----------------------------

The baby’s stomach and intestines can be disturbed because of breast milk that becomes unhealthy. It may come from a parent who is getting out of Health, a circumstance that will be so obvious to herself and to those who care about her well-being, that it is only necessary to hint at it here. There are many causes of a general type that may owe their origin, but the most common is excessive lactation, and the effects on both mother and child have been concentrated.

The mental anxiety of the mother will make her milk unhealthy and lacking in quantity, causing flatulence, squeaking, and sometimes convulsions in the infant. A fit of emotion in the nurse is often followed by a fit of intestinal complaint in the child. These reasons, of course, are temporary, and once they are removed, the milk becomes as healthy and sufficient for the baby as before.

However, a sudden and significant mental disorder sometimes causes the milk to come out, and within a few hours. Mrs. S. V. V., AIT. 29, was a beautiful and healthy woman, with blond skin. It is limited to a boy. She had a great time and an abundance of milk for the baby, which she continued to suck until the following January, three months when her milk disappeared. These accompanying medical conditions puzzled him because he could not attribute them to any physical illness, but the milk did not return, and The nurse became necessary. The following spring, the husband of this lady failed, an ordeal that was imminent from the time of the disappearance of Mother's milk. On the day, he drew the wife's attention to the state of disorder of the husband's Affairs, which explained the mysterious disappearance of milk.

Unhealthy foods affect breast milk and disturb the baby’s intestines. I was once called to see a nursing baby suffering from diarrhea. Corrective measures had little effect as long as the infant had the right to breast milk, but with this stopped, and the arrowroot made only from the water was allowed, the complaint was quickly stopped. Believing that the mother’s milk has changed because of an accidental because that can now be transmitted, he returned the baby to Breastfeeding again. However, in less than twenty-four hours, diarrhea returned. Since the mother is a healthy woman, it was suspected that an unhealthy item in her diet could be the cause. So the scheme was carefully studied. When it turned out that the Porter From the neighboring publican was replaced by their porter for a short time. It turned out badly, and when I stopped him for a couple of hours, he threw a large sediment; he stopped; a good healthy beer was taken instead; the baby was put back on the breast, whose milk bloomed, and he did not have another attack.

In the same way, an appetizing medicine, which the mother is taking, will act on the intestines of the baby, through its effect on his milk. However, this is not the case with many laxatives, and the same laxative does not produce a similar effect on all children. So it’s good for a parent to notice what acts in this way through her system on her child’s system, and what does not. And when an apéritif becomes necessary for herself, unless she wants to move the child’s intestines, to avoid the latter; otherwise, she can take the first one with beneficial effects.

Again, the return of menstruation when the mother is a nurse always affects the properties of milk, in any way disturbing the infant’s stomach and intestines. So a few days before the mother feels unwell, the baby will become restless and uncomfortable; his stomach will milk vomiting and its movements will be frequent, watery, and greenish. And then, when the period is completely over, the milk will stop cleansing. However, it turned out that the infant is impacted by this circumstance mainly in the first months; because it was found that although the milk is certainly altered by it, being less abundant and nutritious, it ceases to impact the infant after the third or fourth month. Should the mother, because her periods return after childbirth, and then give up breastfeeding? Certainly not, unless the health of the infant is seriously impacted by it; because she will find that with menstruation, by keeping the infant almost from the breast, during its continuation, and by feeding him artificial foods, she will prevent disorders of the baby’s health and will breastfeed her baby with advantage. However, it should be added that the nurse should be resorted to instead of any risk incurred to harm the baby’s health; and that fractional feeding will be necessary much earlier than when the mother is not affected by this.

Milk can also be made less nutritious and reduced in quantity because of the mother’s pregnancy. However, in this case, the health of the parent will suffer mainly, if she continues to breastfeed; however, this will again act in a harmful way on the baby. So it would be wiser, if conception occurred and the milk did not agree with the baby, to resign from the duties of the nurse and subject the baby to an appropriate artificial diet.

An infant who is constantly at the breast will always suffer, to some extent, from flatulence, squeaking, loosening of the intestines, and vomiting. This is because it does not allow a sufficient interval between meals for digestion. Therefore, milk passes from the stomach to the intestines undigested, and the above effects should follow. It is necessary not only to give time for proper digestion of milk, but also to give the stomach itself a rest Season. Therefore, this evil should be avoided with caution by a mother who strictly adheres to these rules of breastfeeding.

The intestines of an infant at the breast, as well as after weaning, are usually affected by teething. And he is glad that this is so because it prevents the most serious diseases. Diarrhea that occurs during teething should not be controlled unless it is violent; however, if this is the case, attention should be paid to it. It is typically that Swelling of the gums is accompanied by a free incision that sometimes puts an end to relief: however, additional medical care may be required.

At the time of weaning.

------------------------

There is great susceptibility to disturbances in the baby’s stomach and intestines when weaning typically occurs, so caution and judgment must be exercised in taking RAI to reach this goal. However, the intestines during this process are typically disturbed because of one of these reasons; from weaning too early, from doing it suddenly and abruptly, or from overeating and using unsuitable and unsuitable foods. There is another reason that can cause diarrhea at this time, regardless of withdrawal, namely. Irritation of hard teething.

Replacing artificial foods with breast milk, when the baby’s digestive organs are very sensitive to this change, is a frequent source of diseases currently under study.

An attempt to wean a sensitive child, for example, when he is only six months old, will inevitably be followed by disorders of the stomach and intestines. Therefore, unless the mother is forced to resort to this procedure, pregnancy, or any other unavoidable reason if she consults the well-being of her baby, she will not give up breastfeeding at such an early period.

Immediately depriving the baby of the breast and replacing artificial foods with it because these foods may be under current regulations, will always lead to intestinal disorders. Certain rules and regulations must be adopted to safely carry out weaning, the details of which are given elsewhere
