The baby's digestive system is not yet complete, so if parents do not feed them properly or pay attention, it is easy for the baby's digestive system to accumulate gas, causing discomfort throughout the body and causing parents to worry themselves. So, what should parents do to quickly expel baby bloating?
Generally, babies have bloating, which is largely due to parents allowing the baby to excessively swallow too much air into their body during breastfeeding. But there is also a part of the reason that the accumulation of feces in the baby's intestines and stomach can lead to the growth of gas producing bacteria, resulting in indigestion and the production of a large amount of gas. There are also pathological reasons for this, such as problems with the baby's gastrointestinal tract, which hinder intestinal peristalsis and cause bloating in the baby's abdomen.
Generally, babies have physiological bloating, recurrent abdominal pain, and lower abdominal discomfort, causing them to cry and feel uneasy, their faces to turn red, and even continuous flatulence. If the baby has pathological abdominal pain, that is, a tumor growing in the baby's abdominal cavity, it can cause bloating. If the baby's intestines are blocked, not only will there be bloating in the abdomen, but there will also be vomiting, constipation, and other conditions.
If parents notice that their baby's abdomen is bulging, but the baby's movements are normal and the belly feels soft to the touch, then the baby's bloating is benign and parents don't need to worry. And doctors usually check whether a baby has gastrointestinal diseases by tapping their abdomen. If the doctor makes an empty sound, it means that the baby is healthy and parents don't have to worry. However, in daily life, parents should teach their babies to develop the habit of drinking water after meals, which is beneficial for relieving bloating.
