After giving birth, everything was different from what I imagined. When I was pregnant, I often felt the fetal movement in my belly and imagined the baby lying in my arms and smiling at me. At that time, I never thought that after giving birth to a child, my life would be filled with the crying of the child and my anxiety. On the first day after her daughter was born, her stomach felt uncomfortable after taking jaundice medicine, and she cried at the top of her voice all night long. When I was still in confinement, my bowel movements were not normal. There were many stools every day, and they were very watery every time. My mental state was not very good. Later, I got a little bigger and my stools were not so watery. I thought it would get better, but the result was that I would either not have a bowel movement for several days, and in the end my stool would be dry and hard, or it would happen several times a day, and it would be rotten and shapeless. As soon as the afternoon came, she would \”make trouble at dusk\” and cry so much that she couldn\’t even hold her. The confinement sister-in-law and her family members took turns holding her in the \”airplane hug\” and kept walking until the evening when she slowly cried herself to sleep. But in the middle of the night, the loud crying will suddenly sound again. As she gets older, it becomes difficult to coax her to sleep. I have tried various tricks to coax her to sleep, but it is still difficult to get her to fall asleep. Even if she falls asleep, she will keep rolling around. When he reaches 1 year old, he has more and more problems: he loves to cry, is introverted and sensitive, his height and weight are slower than that of children of the same age, his hair is sparse and yellow, his stools are still abnormal, his tongue coating is thick, he easily accumulates food, and he blinks frequently when he accumulates food. , I had a cold that didn’t feel good for a long time. One time, the cough alone lasted for two or three weeks. I stare at these problems every day and feel like I\’m going crazy. I feel uncomfortable when she cries. I feel anxious when she doesn\’t poop properly. I have random thoughts when she blinks frequently. I wish I could get sick for her whenever she has cold symptoms. How I hope she will never get sick, I hope she will always be healthy and happy. I couldn\’t accept it in my heart: I had spleen deficiency at such a young age, what should I do in the future? After learning some knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine, I realized that my daughter had spleen and stomach deficiency. I fed him too much and too often, which caused accumulation of food and gas, which made him cry like this. Problems such as slow growth, thinning and yellowing of hair, etc. are also caused by spleen deficiency. If the spleen and stomach are weak, there will be no strength to digest food, and the stool will not be formed; if the digestion is not good and nutrition cannot keep up, the hair will be thin and yellow, the eyes will blink frequently, the height will be slow, and the cough will be slow to heal. When I first learned that my child had spleen deficiency, it was hard for me to believe that she was still so young and had been breastfeeding and hadn’t eaten any cold food. How could she have spleen deficiency? Just then I saw another saying that a child\’s physical constitution is inherited from his parents. Newborn Baby Care Encyclopedia Download Ultra Clear epub I have a weak spleen and stomach. Not only that, I suffered from severe morning sickness during pregnancy and could not eat anything. I ate watermelon and banana as a meal every day, and often ate ice cream and cold drinks. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, if the mother\’s spleen and stomach are weak, it is not suitable to eat too much raw and cold food. Since then, I have been constantly entangled in anxiety and internal friction. I can\’t accept that my daughter has a spleen deficiency since she was born, and I can\’t even accept that my daughter has a spleen deficiency because of me. And if she has a spleen deficiency at such a young age, what will happen to her? What can we do next? For the sake of my daughter and for change, I started to learn knowledge related to the spleen and stomach in traditional Chinese medicine. After studying Chinese medicine, I realized that \”children\’s spleenAfter really in-depth study, I realized that there is a recognized theory in the field of traditional Chinese medicine that \”children often have insufficient spleen\”. Children are born with weak and insufficient spleen and stomach, and this deficiency and weakness itself is normal. Li Xin The teacher wrote at the beginning of \”Lectures on Children\’s Health\”: \”It is normal to get sick. A child\’s growth, development, and repair… are a process of natural changes and adjustments in the body. \”I couldn\’t accept the fact that my daughter was born with a poor spleen and stomach. I fought, entangled, and focused on this problem, and kept amplifying it, but I forgot that the problem itself is normal. When we were children, we were constantly The pursuit of “good”, “awesome” and “right” is an inertia that keeps us growing up. When we have children, we hope that our children will be good, healthy, perfect and win at the starting line. But such anxiety is often counterproductive. By treating the problem of spleen deficiency as normal, we can avoid a lot of over-treatment. By treating the problem of spleen deficiency as normal, I can break free from anxiety and do what I really need to do. Hua San After years of conditioning, my child was able to eat more and his body became stronger. Based on the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine I learned, I began to try to regulate my child\’s spleen and stomach by myself, sowing healthy seeds in every aspect of life. (1) Choose what the spleen and stomach like. Yes, I no longer \”take it for granted\” about what food is suitable for my daughter to feed her through feedback. Instead, I let her spleen and stomach give the answer on her own. My daughter is very sensitive and gets easily upset when she eats restaurant food or fried or grilled food. We try our best to let her eat meals cooked at home, and only go to restaurants to eat during Chinese New Year dinners and trips. When she eats snacks with a lot of additives, her tongue coating will become obviously thicker, so I always store them at home. Bazhen cakes, Bazhen steamed buns, tangerine peel and hawthorn sticks, etc. are more suitable snacks for her. Interestingly, for a few days, I tried to feed my daughter only vegetarian food and almost no meat, thinking that this would reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach, and her digestion would be better. Unexpectedly, her bowel movements were very bad in those days, and later she couldn\’t poop out at all. It was not until she resumed eating meat that her bowel movements returned to normal. At first, I didn\’t understand why this happened, but later I realized that her spleen and stomach were weak, and vegetables It\’s cold compared to meat, so for her, it\’s appropriate to eat a little meat in moderation. Later, I gradually started feedback feeding, carefully recording what she couldn\’t eat, what she could eat, and how much she could eat, and then shared it with her. As time went by, my daughter herself began to \”feedback eating.\” We knew that milk was not suitable for her, but there was milk in the kindergarten every day. The children drank a pack of milk after waking up, and she wanted to drink it too. But after drinking milk, her stomach She was bloated and very uncomfortable. Gradually she no longer wanted milk, and she agreed to let the teacher put the milk in her schoolbag and take it home for her father to drink. Once she ate a lot of jackfruit, which caused her gums to swell, ache and bleed. From then on, no need for adults to tell her, jackfruit I don’t touch it anymore when I bring it to my eyes. Real traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to \”people-centered\” and pays attention to eating what is suitable for you, rather than what is delicious. The essence of \”feedback feeding\” is \”people-centered\” and is the most scientific and effective feeding method. . (2) Move your limbs more to provide access to the spleen and stomach. The spleen governs the limbs. As long as you move your limbs more,The essence of water and grain will be dispersed, and there will be no blockage in the body. Before she was one year old, I guided my daughter to practice crawling, holding toys to attract her to crawl around the house. After she turned one year old, I took my family with me for a walk with my daughter. Gradually she walked farther and farther, and could even walk two kilometers with adults. As my daughter gets older, she can do more and more sports. Now, my three-year-old daughter can already play badminton with me. There are more and more things she can \”eat\”, and there are fewer and fewer dietary restrictions. She is getting happier and her body is getting stronger. Every summer is the season when she exercises the most, and is also the season when she grows the most obviously. When summer comes, her daughter grows a lot in stature and becomes more muscular. My daughter\’s hair used to be sparse and yellow, but now it has become not only thicker, but also black and shiny. The stool has also become normal, all of which are standard \”golden bars\”. Exercise is like the best \”circulatory drug\”. It not only circulates the daughter\’s body, but also circulates the atmosphere and relationship of the whole family. The changes in my daughter made the whole family reach a consensus that a certain amount of exercise should be ensured every day. Everyone is used to taking their daughters out for a walk, and they are also used to walking to nearby places. Even on rainy days when we couldn\’t go out, we played football, shuttlecock, touch high, and skipped rope at home, trying every means to coax our daughter to \”move\” more. The amount of exercise of the family members also increased, and the atmosphere at home became better and better. (3) Give your spleen and stomach more massage and take care of it at all times. In addition to diet and exercise, there are many free external treatments, such as massage. I tried many massage techniques, and finally concluded the ones that are most effective and easiest to use for my daughter: chiropractic, belly massage, and abdominal massage. In the morning, my daughter woke up wearing a sleeping bag. Chiropractic was very convenient at this time. I asked her to lie down on the pillow and gently massaged her spine from bottom to top. In the early morning, when Yang Qi is on the rise, chiropractic is most suitable for the time of day, which can replenish Yang Qi for children, dredge meridians, and promote growth. Sometimes we don’t pay much attention to the chiropractic technique. We just push it up gently when both of us are happy and relaxed. The effect is good. Chiropractic massage in the morning has become our natural habit. Massaging the belly is also very simple. Sit next to your daughter, gently place your warmed hands on her navel, and quietly feel the changes in qi and blood. She felt particularly accomplished when her stomach growled under my hand. Every time when my daughter eats too much and can\’t sleep, I will massage her like this to \”releasing air\”. Teacher Li Xin shared in the book that he used this simple massage method to massage and condition his father after he was seriously ill. It took more than an hour a day and had very obvious effects. It is recommended to give your child 3 to 5 minutes each time, up to half an hour or even an hour. Sometimes I would also use abdominal massage, using the thenar to gently massage her belly back and forth to help her transport and dissolve excess food, and also transfer love and energy to her. In the past, it was difficult to coax my daughter to sleep. She was always very excited when it was time to go to bed, and she would not fall asleep even though she tried her best to hold her, push her, and coax her. Nowadays, massage has become the fastest way to induce sleep. Shenque point is really a \”treasure point\” for inducing sleep. No matter what position she is in, as long as I find a way to put my hand on Shenque point, she will be at most 1You can fall asleep in less than 0 minutes. Because Shenque point can not only promote digestion and regulate the spleen and stomach, but also has a very good soothing effect. After two years of continuous conditioning, my now 3-year-old daughter\’s spleen deficiency has greatly improved. Although my daughter is still prone to food accumulation when she occasionally eats too much, she no longer blinks frequently due to food accumulation. If she catches a cold, she will be fine in two or three days, and her cough will be better than before. She has gained back her height and weight. The most important thing is that during this process, my mentality has also changed. I understand.\” The importance of \”Everything depends on the person\”, the problem of children\’s spleen deficiency is not static, as long as you are willing to put in the effort and find the right direction, it can be improved step by step. If health really has a starting line… Teacher Li Xin\’s wife, Sun Hao, was in very poor health when she was a child. Her spleen and stomach were weak since she was a child, and her digestion and absorption were very poor. I have been troubled by chronic diarrhea, severe rhinitis, skin allergies and asthmatic bronchitis for many years. It was not until the age of 20 that he studied Chinese medicine by himself, adjusted his diet and healed himself. But she shared: \”I am now 46 years old, and I am in the best health condition. After experiencing these health difficulties, it is possible for me to pay attention to and learn health-related principles early.\” I think of myself, I I also have a bad spleen and stomach since I was a child, but this does not affect my height of 1.68 meters, my work, or my good life. I may spend a little more energy than others to carefully take care of my spleen, stomach, and body, but this will also help me cherish and protect my body more. A Chinese medicine doctor jokingly said to me: \”You are very sensitive. Your spleen and stomach are natural food detectors. If you eat takeaways or food with additives, you will have thick tongue coating, bloated stomach, and discomfort. But this is actually a good thing! Supervision If you eat more healthy food, exercise and rest more, you can protect yourself better!\” Yes! Looking at my daughter jumping around and playing games, I thought that her spleen and stomach may always be a shortcoming in her life, but it does not affect her life. As she grows up, understands traditional Chinese medicine, exercises well, and takes good care of herself, her spleen and stomach will become stronger. If the world really has a starting line for health, we can certainly use traditional Chinese medicine to help children improve their starting line. Let us live the present moment without anxiety, let us respect all the causes and conditions of the present moment, and let us bless our children and ourselves with peace of mind.
