After a child develops food stagnation, they may cry and fuss incessantly during nighttime sleep due to incomplete digestion of food in the body, causing discomfort. Abdominal massage after meals can help improve the child’s digestion. Additionally, feeding the child more hawthorn and high-fiber foods can promote gastrointestinal motility, thereby enhancing digestion and facilitating bowel movements.
