After birth, babies have very weak gastrointestinal function, so they can only eat milk and often experience some gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms, such as colic and bloating. When children experience gastrointestinal discomfort, there are some methods to alleviate it. So, what should we do if a newborn baby has bloating?
When a newborn baby experiences bloating symptoms, can you massage the baby's abdomen to allow for initial intake and exhaust. Parents should massage their children's lower abdomen clockwise, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and help to expel gas, thus alleviating the symptoms of bloating in the child's stomach.
There are many factors that can cause children to experience bloating, such as improper feeding, which can also lead to bloating in children. Swallowing a lot of air during breastfeeding is a common cause of bloating in children. So when mothers breastfeed their children, they should control the timing and not have too long intervals between two feedings. Otherwise, if the child is hungry and anxious, they will eat milk very quickly, and then inhale a large amount of air, resulting in bloating in the stomach.
For babies who frequently experience bloating, do not immediately put them on the bed after breastfeeding. Instead, burp the baby to promote air release and reduce the occurrence of bloating. If you don't burp your child, not only is it easy to cause bloating, but it may also lead to the baby vomiting milk.
