The baby is always restless every time she breastfeeds her. It takes a long time for Lu to concentrate on drinking milk. She often wakes up suddenly while sleeping, and even bursts into tears. The new mother can only constantly comfort her, and her mood fluctuates with the baby. Dr. Huang Weiyuan, director of the Department of Pediatrics at Bingkun Maternal and Child Hospital, pointed out that clinical findings have shown that there is a direct correlation between restlessness, inattention and allergies in infants and young children! Once allergies are induced, the physical discomfort caused by the symptoms will interfere with the baby's concentration and emotional stability. Therefore, parents should not ignore the importance of allergy prevention.
Dr. Huang further explained that the common symptoms of allergies are atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma. When they occur at night, children will stay up all night due to itchy skin, nasal congestion, runny nose, night cough, etc., resulting in Daytime mental status If the allergy symptoms occur during the day, the child will be restless and emotionally unstable due to physical discomfort during the learning process, which will affect his concentration, and he may even be considered a hyperactive child. Influences the development of learning and interpersonal relationships.
Dr. Huang said that easily distracted or poor concentration is indeed a common characteristic of hyperactive children. Recent domestic studies have also found that the rate of ADHD among allergic children is 2.8 times that of non-allergic children, showing that there is indeed a correlation between the two. Sex, if parents are worried that allergies will affect their children's future development, they should take allergy prevention as early as possible; prevention methods can start from two major directions. One is to clean the environment, such as bed covers, pillowcases, etc. that are often used by babies. Supplies that come into contact should be cleaned and replaced regularly. Using air purifiers and dehumidifiers is also a way to reduce environmental allergens. The second is to prevent it through diet. The academic community recommends breastfeeding first, mainly because breast milk has been confirmed by domestic and foreign studies. It can effectively prevent allergies. The nutrients contained in it can help the development of the immune system. Moreover, the molecules of breast milk protein are small, suitable for the still developing gastrointestinal system of infants and young children, and are easy to digest and absorb.
Many mothers are worried about what they should do if their baby is unable to continue breastfeeding after one year old due to work reasons, insufficient breast milk secretion, etc.? Dr. Huang recommends choosing products with partially hydrolyzed protein formulas. It uses hydrolysis technology to finely chop the large protein molecules in milk into small molecules, which is easier for the baby's immature stomach to absorb and is less likely to cause an overreaction of the immune system. The doctor finally appealed to parents to take allergy precautions so that their babies can grow up healthily and have good concentration, so that their potential in learning or career development will not be limited in the future.
