Infant food stagnation can be comprehensively analyzed based on the baby's oral health, gastrointestinal condition, sleep quality, bowel movements, and internal heat. It can be improved through daily dietary adjustments. Generally, the most common symptom after food stagnation is decreased appetite. At this time, the baby may show disinterest in eating, and might even experience nausea or vomiting during meals, expelling all ingested food.
