When taking care of a baby, many parents may notice that their baby's stomach is growling just as they have fed them. Some families have also found that when babies are hungry, their stomachs may growl, which is actually a sign of discomfort and bloating. So, how to relieve baby bloating?
To help relieve bloating in babies, it is important to observe if there are any abnormal occurrences of flatulence. When many babies experience bloating, they will fart, and some may have abnormal bowel movements, such as an increase in the frequency of defecation. These are all abnormal manifestations caused by bloating and should be treated in a timely manner.
To relieve the baby's bloating, the mother can help massage the baby's abdomen. But before the massage, it is important to warm up your hands and then massage around the baby's belly button. Pay attention to the direction of the massage, usually clockwise, and focus on the intensity of the massage on the baby's abdomen. It is necessary to persist for more than 20 times each time.
For babies, once air is sucked into their stomachs during breastfeeding, it can also lead to bloating. This requires timely burping to help the baby expel the air from their stomachs and prevent bloating. In addition, mothers who need to breastfeed should pay attention to their diet. Although sweet potatoes are delicious, they can easily cause bloating and should be consumed in moderation.
For babies who drink formula, if they often experience bloating after consuming this formula, parents should carefully look for any problems with the pacifier. They can also adjust the formula in a timely manner and choose a more suitable formula for the baby. This is better and beneficial for the baby to digest better.
