allergy and intelligence of children. If the children experienced allergic reactions such as diarrhea, children become often sick. As a result Feed nutrition is not obtained in accordance with the needed. This of course greatly affect the mental development of children.

The impact of other, said Zakiudin, the children who were allergic to, the period of pain experienced by far longer than healthy children that same illness. For example, healthy children which the cough-cold will usually recover within 5 days while the children allergic new can recover after two weeks or more. In addition, children are also very vulnerable allergic against virus infections. So do not close the possibility of other organs like the brain can disease or viral infection.

In the digestive disturbances Infants



Caring for babies not only need patience, but need a knowledge of the treatment true. As handle interference in the baby's stomach is the common symptoms and often found, however, can not lead. Of course, a baby suffering and This interruption should still be skeptical and should not be considered unimportant.

Digestive disturbances in the baby milk can be derived from a formula that consumed by infants assistant food and milk (Pasi) or the baby is too early to receive sapih. Pasi food should be given at the time the baby age 6 months. If too early the baby will be disturbed digestion. Conversely, if given too late food companion, the baby will be malnutrition. Before the babies aged 6 months must accept breastfeeding as the main food for the baby.

dr Rudi Hartono, from the Clinic How SpA said that the new assistant food can be given on the age of 6 months. Because some enzymes such as acid protein breaker
stomach, pepsin, lipase, amilase enzyme, and other new will be produced perfect time
babies aged 6 months. Disruption of digestion itself can be caused by infection (by viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.), ie allergic to cow's milk protein, interference
motilitas because of intestinal infection, disrupted the balance of acid in the blood Base, in sumbatan intestine, defisiensi enzym digestion, malabsorbsi syndrome, etc.. Babies aged 0-6 months susceptible to diarrhea, enzym laktosa because the intestine is not tacky perfect,, so it's difficult to analyze germs that enter the baby so can diarrhea-diarrhea. Therefore, do not give the food a companion too
early, exclusive breastfeeding given enough at the age of about because there are breastfed in the anti body that can be distributed to the baby. In addition to diarrhea, at the age of about baby easily affected digestive disturbances such as constipation, gumoh, and so forth. For babies aged 6-12 months can be given food companion. "But in the age of the baby also attending still susceptible to digestive disturbances, because the anti-body in the body yet works perfectly. Therefore, given enough food that is soft software only, "said Rudi. Babies who are breastfed get food to be of assistance be taken to correct the infant hygiene, ranging from milk bottles, food, and others. Should not give the baby foods contain too much oil, coconut milk, butter or margarine. Because, the dikandung fat foods that will
aggravate the digestive system works baby. Infants affected vulnerable to diarrhea
dehydration.

Some interference in the baby's digestion:

Constipation
Interference difficult to defecate (BAB) usually occurs in infants at age 0-4 months,
because of the baby and the formation of digestive enzyme digestion is not perfect. Difficult CHAPTER on the baby can be caused by processed milk formula that is too thick. Usually milk formula has a high content of fat and protein low. In infants
receive breastfeeding tend to have weak Feces can serve as the content of fat and protein fisiologinya appropriate. Lack of liquids can as baby constipation. Give
drink water before drinking baby milk to help dissolves in the process digestion.

Generally, animal milk trigger digestive disturbances than that derived from vegetable. Milk vegetable order has not saturated fatty acid longer, so easily digested. CHAPTER interference can also be caused by food. Baby 6 months of age who has been assistant food should be given the fruit-Feed fruit that is processed into liquid and smooth. Avoid bananas and apples that have a high rate of fiber. Apples have a high water absorption in the digestive channel so that dirt can cause the crust.

Gejalafisik which can be seen is bulging belly, rough and dry skin, musculature body is weak, weak and faces a typical such as the pug nose, and face to swell.

Diarrhea

Babies aged 0-6 months susceptible to viruses that cause infection in the intestine.
Laktosa enzyme in the body is not functioning perfectly, so baby easy-to-diarrhea diarrhea. Still in its infant this age of 6-12 months, although he has been receiving food companion, but it needs to be about intake of milk formula given. The processing of milk is too thick lead to colon baby food difficult process, so before the milk is digested and consequently the baby out experienced diarrhea. When the baby can be protracted lack of liquids and threatening life. Also caused diarrhea disease from other people's example of the infection. In addition because the milk formula, diarrhea in infants can also be caused because of food a net companions less.

Frequent vomiting

Generally, baby experiencing frequent vomiting. Many things cause, one milk formula. Function of the digestive peristalsis (contraction waves in the stomach wall and
intestine) in infants have not yet formed perfect, so if there is food, such as Feed
milk, which is too thick will be back. Vomiting also can occur, satiety, or because the baby until the baby mulet high pressure in the stomach, consequently, milk out again. In general reflek swallowed by the new perfect baby aged 6 months to the top. So that the baby does not vomit, food should be made more software so it can be easily digested.
