Yam, Red Date and Snow Fungus Porridge (Baby Food)

Snow fungus is not easily digestible, so it should be chopped as finely as possible when feeding it to babies. Because babies have weaker digestive functions and much narrower esophagi, it is best to remove the skins from red dates to prevent them from sticking to the throat and causing choking. When cutting yam, remember to wear gloves to prevent allergic reactions and itchy hands. The sizes of the yam, red dates, and snow fungus should be determined by the baby's chewing ability; if the baby's chewing ability is weak, try to cut them into even smaller pieces. Although indigestion should not be ignored, it is not a serious illness. When a small baby shows symptoms of indigestion, mothers can gently massage the baby's belly clockwise to promote intestinal motility, burp the baby after feeding, and avoid letting them lie down immediately. When older babies experience indigestion, offering smaller, more frequent meals will help restore gastrointestinal function.
