I don't like to drink milk for most of the month
Height and weight stagnation
The Spring Festival is over, spring is coming, and the flowers and trees have sprouted, but Xiao Wangzai has not liked to drink milk for most of the month.
Mom and Dad said that since the addition of complementary foods at the age of 6 months, the amount of milk is much less than before, and there is even a situation where the stool has to be solved in 3 to 4 days. Seeing that their height and weight stagnated, they looked in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts.
The family took Wangzai to several hospitals, and a full body examination did not find anything abnormal. Later, after being recommended by a friend, Wangzai's mother took him to the Tuina Department of Dingqiao Branch of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the deputy director of pediatric Tuina He Jiaying, a doctor, asked in detail about the medical history after receiving the diagnosis, and found that his height and weight were significantly behind the baby of the same month of age.
For most children, she said, there are the following rules in terms of physical growth patterns:
Length: The average height of newborns is 50 cm, which grows rapidly in the first year, about 75 cm at the age of 1 year, about 87 cm at the age of 2 years, and about 5-7 cm per year after that until puberty. The average growth rate in adolescent boys (12-16 years) is about 25-28 cm; the average growth in adolescent girls (11-15 years) is about 23-25 cm.
Weight: The average weight of full-term newborns is 3 kg; the weight of 3 months old reaches 2 times that of birth, about 6 kg; the weight reaches 3 times the birth weight at 1 year, about 9 kg; the birth weight is 4 times that of 2 years old, about 12 kg; the average annual growth of 2 kg over 2 years old.
According to the chief Chinese medicine physician of Tuina Kesun Bo, if the height and weight are lower than the same age, the same sex children are 2 standard deviations, or the growth curve is shifted down for 2 consecutive times, it is that there is growth retardation. Parents need to pay attention to the physical delay in infancy and childhood, if not timely intervention and correction, the outcome of childhood is to deviate from genetic height, short stature, and even short stature.
"Parents can monitor the growth and development of infants and young children at home by milk volume, urinating and urinating, monitoring weight, drawing growth curves, etc., and if abnormalities are found, they should seek medical treatment in time to eliminate disease status and give nutritional guidance." Sun Bo suggested.
After He Jiaying examined Wangzai's pulse, he dialectically began treatment. Professional pediatric massage, coupled with the characteristics of Hangzhou Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Spleen and Stomach Patch, Xiao Wangzai's appetite slowly became better, the stool was smooth, the weight began to grow, and even the thinning hair grew longer and darker, and the anxious heart of the whole family was finally put down.
There are many reasons why children are yellow
There is no need to blindly detect trace elements
For children's growth retardation, He Jiaying said that many parents in the clinic reflected that these children have different degrees of "yellow face" problems, some are not only yellow in color, but also have yellow nose and yellow hair. Children with this kind of face either don't like to eat, or they eat wildly but don't get fat, they are thin and small and difficult to grow tall. What does the child's various yellowing manifestations really mean? How do I need to condition it?
Yellow face
The child's normal face should be slightly yellowish, translucent and shiny. There is blood color in the skin of Chinese children, bright and moist and subtle, with blood color, white and red, but not exposed to the outside, which is a manifestation of spirit, is a healthy yellowish color.
Yellowish face: The overall appearance of the face is pale yellow, there is no feeling of entrainment of qi and blood, dark and not bright, accompanied by emaciation, which is yellowish. Most of them belong to spleen and stomach deficiency. The spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood metaplasia, the spleen and stomach are weak, the transportation function is abnormal, the water valley that cannot be eaten can be normalized into qi and blood, and the qi and blood are not enough to nourish and moisturize the meridians of the face, then the face is bloodless, and it looks like it is yellow. At this time, you should actively give your child a healthy spleen, "eat beans to supplement the spleen and push three levels."
Yellow face: yellow face, no blood color, and accompanied by a burst of pain around the umbilicus, nocturnal grinding, mostly intestinal worms. Because of the unclean diet, insect accumulation is formed, which blocks the gastrointestinal tract and affects the child's spleen, stomach and intestine function. At this time, it should be used to dispel the accumulation of roundworms, clean the intestines and strengthen the spleen, eat insect repellent drugs according to the doctor's instructions, and at the same time cooperate with the methods of clearing the board door, transporting the bagua, and kneading the four horizontal stripes to help eliminate the accumulation of the intestines.
Yellow and puffy face: face, whole body skin light yellow with white, normal shape, or slightly fat, face, limb muscles soft and spongy, god tired and sluggish, lazy in action, poor appetite, mostly due to lack of temper, water wet transport disorder, wet evil internal stop caused. It should be used to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.
Fetal yellow, jaundice: newborn eyes, whole body skin, urine yellowing, dark or light color, or distinct or dark, more obvious abnormalities, generally easy to identify.
Yellow nose
The "Pediatric Pharmacology Direct Recipe" divides the facial examination into "the left cheek is the liver, the right cheek is the lung, the forehead is the heart, the nose is the spleen, and the chin is the kidney", the face appears in different parts, combined with the five organs and suggests that the organs are out of balance. "Quasi-head" means that the nose head belongs to the spleen; in the meridian circulation, the foot Yang Ming stomach meridian is distributed next to the nose, and the nose can judge the virtual reality of the internal organs, the rise and fall of gastric qi, etc.
The normal nose color is also red and yellow, which is a sign of adequate stomach qi. The child's nose is yellowish, but it is still moist, indicating that although there is a disease, the stomach qi is not damaged, which is a mild disease; the child's nose is yellow or pale and bloodless, most of which are qi and blood deficiency, spleen and stomach weakness.
Yellow hair
Chinese medicine theory says that hair is not only blood, kidney Hua, lung main fur, children because of the delicate organs, lungs, spleen, kidneys are often insufficient, insufficient qi and blood, yellow hair, rare, slow growth, which is also a common phenomenon in healthy children, we often say that "yellow haired girls" in the seven or eight years old kidney qi, it will naturally begin to turn black. Parents do not have to worry too much, and there is no need to blindly detect trace elements.
If the child grows up, the hair is still yellow, thin, dry, excluding genetic causes, parents should pay more attention to the eyes, the color and growth of the hair and the rise and fall of kidney qi and sperm blood are closely related, the kidney hides sperm, the spleen is the source of qi and blood metaplasia, so the child's hair is thin and yellow, growth retardation, and even long-term hair, mostly due to congenital deficiency, or acquired loss of nourishment, spleen and kidney deficiency, there is a situation of sperm and blood deficiency. Therefore, clinically we often see children with strong stomach and spleen weakness or long-term spleen deficiency, and their hair is yellow and dry.
He Jiaying suggested that for yellow-faced children, in addition to scientific feeding and diet mediation, you can also try children's growth promotion massage, acupuncture point patch therapy, make full use of nature's hair-generating qi, starting from the spleen and stomach, and adjusting in time, which can effectively improve the symptoms of children's spleen and stomach weakness. The spleen and stomach transport function is improved, and the child will naturally have a full muscle and sufficient qi and blood. Qi and blood foot is kidney sperm foot, kidney sperm foot nourishes liver tendons, bones, marrow, and ultimately nourishes the brain.
