What should I do if the child absorbs poorly?

Patient's question:

My baby has poor digestion... Whatever green vegetables he eats comes out the same way... Spinach is also occasionally eaten, and large pieces of pumpkin cannot be digested either. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

This is a normal situation. The absorption function of young children is inherently underdeveloped, and their ability to understand food is limited. Generally, complementary feeding usually begins between 6-10 months, starting with liquid or mashed foods. It is recommended to provide the baby with liquid or mashed foods, not ready-made foods, and to offer easily digestible foods. Feeding in small, frequent meals can help regulate the gastrointestinal function.
