Symptoms of Food Stagnation in Infants
Disease description:
My child hasn’t been drinking milk for the past few days and has also developed diarrhea and vomiting. I suspect this is due to overfeeding—his digestive system can’t handle it, leading to food stagnation. Could you please explain the symptoms of food stagnation in infants?

In addition to abdominal distension and abdominal pain, some infants become restless, cry persistently, and experience poor nighttime sleep. In toddlers, abdominal discomfort is primarily caused by disharmony of the spleen and stomach, overeating, or excessive consumption of greasy foods—this condition is actually very common. First, it is essential to ensure appropriate dietary planning for the child. Provide light, easily digestible foods, and consider administering digestive aids such as trypsin powder or gastric enzyme preparations, or probiotics to help regulate intestinal flora.
