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 means it fails to achieve the nutritional benefits of milk. Additionally, drinking milk on an empty stomach stimulates gastrointestinal movement. Before the nutritional components of milk are fully digested, they enter the large intestine, where they are decomposed by bacteria, leading to the production of toxic substances. Since water makes up a significant portion of milk, drinking large amounts of milk on an empty stomach can dilute gastric juice, which is beneficial for food absorption and digestion. It is recommended to have a varied diet, ensuring a balance of color, aroma, and taste. Try to make it look unappealing to her. Take her to have dinner with children who enjoy eating well, and place the milk in an inconspicuous location before the meal.
