Patient's question:
My baby is three years old. Every morning, she drinks pure milk on an empty stomach, and she needs to drink three bottles a day. However, she doesn't eat dinner well at all. Do you think it's related to drinking milk on an empty stomach in the morning?Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment.
What kind of help is needed: How can I get my child to eat dinner?
Doctor's answer:
Drinking milk on an empty stomach causes some of the proteins in milk to be converted into energy, which then fails to achieve the nutritional benefits that milk should provide. Additionally, drinking milk on an empty stomach stimulates gastrointestinal movement. Before the nutrients in the milk are fully digested, they enter the large intestine, where they are subjected to bacterial action, leading to decomposition and the formation of toxic substances. Since water constitutes a significant portion of milk, drinking large amounts of milk on an empty stomach can dilute gastric juice, which is beneficial for the absorption and digestion of food. It is recommended to maintain a diverse diet, ensuring a balance of color, aroma, and flavor. Try to make it appear in a form she dislikes. Take her to have dinner with children who enjoy eating well, and place the milk in an inconspicuous location before the meal.
