After the birth of a newborn, parents are concerned about their child's poor growth and development. Some newborns may experience intestinal bloating. So, how long does it take for newborn babies to recover from intestinal bloating?
Neonatal intestinal bloating is generally a normal physiological phenomenon, as the development of the spleen and stomach in newborns is not yet complete and relatively weak, making it easy to experience intestinal bloating. For this situation, it will gradually alleviate and disappear around 4 months after the child is born, depending on the individual's physical condition. Parents need to carefully observe their children's condition to see if it gradually improves.
If the baby's symptoms do not improve and even other discomfort symptoms appear, it indicates that there may be a problem with the gastrointestinal tract. It is best to massage the baby's stomach more often and go to the hospital for examination if necessary. It is also necessary to change the feeding posture regularly to avoid the baby inhaling air while breastfeeding, which can worsen the symptoms of intestinal bloating.
Note that once a baby is diagnosed with organic lesions, active examination is necessary. For example, intestinal obstruction in infants can easily lead to symptoms of intestinal bloating. Therefore, when a child has obvious growth and development obstacles and cries every day, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for examination. It is recommended to breastfeed the baby regularly and not frequently to avoid indigestion. It is also necessary to burp the baby frequently.
