The development of gastrointestinal function during infancy is not very good, so inhaling air while drinking milk or water can cause bloating in the baby's stomach. When a baby experiences bloating in the stomach, it can be very uncomfortable. Once Bao feels uncomfortable, he can only vent by crying. So, what should a 22 month old baby do if they have bloating and keep crying?
The first thing to note is not to give babies food that can easily cause bloating. If the baby is breastfed, then changes need to be made in the mother's diet. During breastfeeding, do not consume foods that stimulate the intestines and stomach, as well as foods that are prone to bloating, which can effectively reduce discomfort in babies.
If the baby is fed with formula milk, it is necessary to pay attention to mastering the correct feeding posture or switching to a different formula milk. Babies who do not absorb lactose are prone to bloating, so when choosing milk powder, it is necessary to check the formula and try not to choose milk powder containing lactose, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of bloating in babies.
Babies experiencing bloating can be very uncomfortable, so crying is inevitable. At this time, it is necessary to help the baby exhaust in a timely manner. You can rub your hands hot and then give the baby a massage on their stomach to promote intestinal peristalsis. When a baby burps or farts, they will release excess gas along with it.
