In traditional Chinese medicine wisdom, the spleen and stomach are regarded as the cornerstone of a baby’s healthy growth, and their strong function is directly related to the child’s digestion, absorption, and overall development. Therefore, scientifically regulating the spleen and stomach is crucial for the health of babies. By carefully pairing drinks, we can effectively enhance the baby’s spleen and stomach function, promote food digestion and nutrient absorption. Here are several recommended spleen and stomach regulating drinks designed specifically for babies:
Firstly, we recommend the classic choice – rice soup. Rice soup, with its mild and easily digestible characteristics, has become an ideal beverage for nourishing the spleen and stomach. Easy to make, just wash the rice, add water and cook slowly until the rice grains are soft and tender. Filter out the rice grains and take the clear soup. This bowl of warm rice soup not only has a soft taste, but also provides necessary energy support for babies.
Secondly, red date water is also an excellent nourishing choice. Red dates are rich in nutrients, especially good at nourishing the spleen and stomach qi, suitable for babies with weak constitution and poor spleen and stomach function. Put the washed red dates into clean water and simmer over low heat until the dates become soft and the water turns light red. This sweet red date water can nourish and increase the baby’s appetite.
Moreover, pumpkin Congee, another good product for regulating the spleen and stomach, is famous for its rich dietary fiber and vitamins. Peel and cut the pumpkin into pieces, and cook it with rice into Congee until the pumpkin is soft and rotten, and the Congee is thick. It is not only delicious, but also can effectively promote the baby’s digestion and strengthen the body.
Finally, when it comes to longan water, it is highly praised for its effects of nourishing the heart, calming the mind, tonifying the spleen, and nourishing qi. Select dried longan and boil it in an appropriate amount of water until the longan becomes sweet and fragrant, and the color turns pale yellow. This warm longan water is suitable for babies to drink at night, helping to calm their emotions and aid in sleep and peace of mind.
To sum up, the reasonable combination and consumption of rice soup, red jujube water, pumpkin Congee, longan water and other drinks can effectively help babies regulate their spleen and stomach and promote their healthy growth. Parents should flexibly adjust these drinks according to their baby’s actual situation and taste preferences, allowing love and nutrition to accompany every step of their baby’s growth.
