When you wake up in the morning and see wet sheets, does your blood pressure spike instantly?
As an expectant mother, I encountered three bedwetting crises during my first pregnancy. Now, as an old mother, I must honestly and frankly talk to you about this extremely embarrassing parenting problem.
Don’t worry, I have carefully compiled a very comprehensive set of “anti-bedwetting home-cooked recipes”. This recipe starts from quantified proportions and ends with actual operation steps. Every part is full of practical information, which allows you to regulate your baby’s body from the root. After reading this content, you can avoid at least 10 collapses!
🥣 Golden breakfast: yam, pumpkin and millet porridge (strengthens the kidneys and spleen)
There is such a classic combination in the Chinese medicine "medicine and food come from the same source", which is made into a porridge. This porridge is specially designed to treat the problem of bedwetting, which is caused by poor gasification of the bladder.
Precise ingredient ratio (for 2 people):
Iron rod yam: The dosage is 80 grams. The length of this 80 grams is generally about 15 centimeters long. Note that you must use the kind of iron rod yam, because the medicinal value of this iron rod yam is higher than others.
Old pumpkin: 100 grams (net weight after peeling and removing flesh, choose golden color)
High-quality millet: 50 grams (about half a rice cooker measuring cup)
Water: 800 ml (the ratio of rice to water is about 1:10)
Wolfberry: 10 pieces (optional, to increase the sweetness)
Quantitative bill of materials:
Wash the millet once (do not rub it excessively to avoid loss of nutrients).
You need to wear gloves to peel the yam and cut it into small cubes with a side length of 1 cm (because the mucus contained in the yam can easily cause allergies, so be sure to wear gloves).
Cut the pumpkin into dices of the same size.
Step by step operation process:
First, put the washed millet into the pot, then add 800 ml of water, then bring it to a boil over high heat, and then skim off the foam.
Carry out ingredients at the bottom, turn the heat to low, cover the pot and leave a gap. This operation is to prevent overflow. After cooking for 15 minutes, add carefully chopped diced yam and pumpkin.
3. Simmer: Continue to simmer over low heat for 20 to 25 minutes. During this period, use a spoon to stir several times in one direction to prevent sticking to the pan, until the porridge becomes sticky, the pumpkin melts, and the yam becomes soft and waxy.
4. Add the finishing touch: 2 minutes before turning off the heat, sprinkle in the washed wolfberry.
The key point regarding cooking is that it must be cooked slowly over low heat to boil out the gelatin in the yam and pumpkin so that it can be incorporated into the porridge. Only in this way can it have the most ideal effect of tonifying the spleen and strengthening the kidneys.
The flavor characteristics of the finished product are as follows: the porridge is golden in color and thick, with the natural sweet taste of pumpkin, and the soft and glutinous taste of yam. Even if the baby does not add sugar, the baby can drink a large bowl.
🥣 Lunch snack: walnut sesame paste (Yizhiquan)
This is not only a magical item with brain-tonifying effects. The combination of walnuts and black sesame seeds also has a wonderful use of "shrinking urine" in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
Precise ingredient ratio (for 1 person):
Raw walnut kernels: 30 grams (about 5-6 walnuts)
Black sesame seeds: 20 grams (it is recommended to use cooked black sesame seeds for a stronger aroma)
Glutinous rice flour: 15 grams (the key to increasing the thick taste)
Rock sugar: 10 grams (adjust according to taste)
Warm water: 300ml
Step by step operation process:
The first step is to stir-fry. Prepare a pot with no oil and no water. Then turn the heat to the minimum, then put the glutinous rice flour in, and then stir-fry slowly until it turns slightly yellow. This process takes about three minutes. Finally, take it out and set it aside for later use.
2. Grind: Put the walnut kernels in, put the cooked black sesame seeds in, put the fried glutinous rice flour in and put in the rock sugar together, put it into a wall breaking machine, or put it into a dry grinding cup.
3. Beating: Start the machine and beat into a fine powder.
If the machine speed is slow, you can beat it in batches and stop beating to prevent oil from overheating and clumping.
4. Preparation: Pour the beaten powder into a bowl, first add some warm water and stir to form a paste without particles, then add the remaining warm water several times and stir evenly.
Tips for novices to avoid pitfalls: If the walnuts produce too much oil and form lumps, don’t worry about it. You can add a little boiling water, crush it with a spoon and keep stirring, it will also be smooth.
Tips for adjusting the taste: If you want it to be more fragrant, you can use milk instead of part of the warm water.
🥣 Dinner pairing: Winter melon, barley and duck soup (mild diuretic)
Many mothers are afraid to give their babies water because they are afraid of bedwetting. In fact, eating a moderate amount of food with diuretic and drainage effects at dinner can help the bladder to "empty training" at night. The key is that the amount must be accurate.
Precise ingredient ratio (for 3-4 people):
Old duck, 500 grams, choose an old duck that is more than one year old, because this kind of old duck has a better effect of nourishing yin, then chop it into pieces and set aside.
Winter melon: 300 grams (skin and cut into pieces, the skin of winter melon has excellent diuretic effect)
Barley: 30 grams (must be fried in advance to remove coldness)
Ginger: 5 slices
Water: 1500ml
Quantification preprocessing:
Remove cold from barley: Put barley into an oil-free pan, stir-fry over low heat until slightly brown, remove and set aside.
This step is the key point . It can neutralize the coldness of barley and is more suitable for the baby's constitution.
When removing the fishy smell from duck meat, put the duck meat into a pot of cold water, add two slices of ginger, bring to a boil over high heat, then skim off the foam, take out the duck meat and wash it with warm water.
Step by step operation process:
Blanch the duck meat and put it into the pot. Add the fried barley and 3 slices of ginger into the pot. Then add 1500 ml of water.
2. First bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat, and then simmer slowly for 1 hour until the duck meat can be easily poked through with chopsticks.
The third step is to add the winter melon: put the winter melon pieces with the skin in, and then turn on the stew mode on low heat for twenty to thirty minutes until the winter melon is transparent.
4. Seasoning: 5 minutes before turning off the heat, add a very small amount of salt for seasoning (baby meals are suitable for lighter tastes rather than salty ones).
<strong>Nutritional Adaptation Instructions: After being fried, barley has the effect of strengthening the spleen and diluting dampness without causing damage to the healthy energy. The old duck has the effect of nourishing yin and clearing away heat. When boiled with the skin of winter melon, it can guide the discharge of excess water. The combination of these three helps the baby to achieve the task of "drainage" in a gentle way during the day and prevent overfilling of the bladder at night.
The soup has a clear color and a delicious taste. The winter melon fully absorbs the essence of the duck soup and it will melt in your mouth.
⚠️ Special taboo: "Blacklist" 2 hours before going to bed
After making the recipe, these "minefield" foods must be avoided. If you don't avoid them, all the previous efforts will be in vain!
Drinking high-calcium milk before going to bed will not only increase the burden on the kidneys, but if the blood calcium is too high at night, it will also inhibit the secretion of anti-diuretic hormone.
Sugar can cause osmotic diuresis, and the high-sugar fruits here, namely watermelon, grapes, and lychees, have extremely high water content and can be called "nighttime toilet catalysts." This is the case.
Zinc-containing snacks: Zinc has a good effect on development. However, if supplemented before going to bed, it will stimulate the nervous system and make it excited, which will prevent the baby from sleeping peacefully.
Follow this recipe and implement it, starting from the root of the diet, and supplement it with correct guidance. I believe that the baby in your living environment will be able to say goodbye to bedwetting in a short time!
