Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Can children eat the same food as adults?Doctor's answer:
Some elderly people are accustomed to chewing their food into small pieces before feeding it to the baby. They believe that this practice helps prevent the food from being too hot for the baby and assists in the baby's chewing and digestion. It's possible that many elderly people still hold this belief. However, this approach is actually incorrect. The baby's spitting up and reflux may be caused by the stomach being in a horizontal position and incomplete development of the cardiac sphincter. There's no need to worry too much; it will improve as the baby grows. In the meantime, the baby can be placed in a head-elevated 30-degree position while sleeping to alleviate the symptoms.
