Many parents may find that their babies have a bloated belly after eating, which may actually be caused by bloating. Parents can touch their baby's belly. If the belly is hard, it indicates that the baby is bloated. So, what should we do if the baby's belly is swollen?
Firstly, parents can have their baby lie in bed and then rub their hands hot to massage the baby's belly button. But be careful not to apply too much force, just massage for five minutes each time. Additionally, you can apply a warm towel to the baby's stomach for about ten minutes. Parents can also remove their baby's clothes and massage the muscles on both sides of their spine. After a period of time, you will see significant results.
It is not good for babies to experience bloating every time, and parents should pay attention to it when feeding them. For example, when breastfeeding, be careful not to let the baby inhale too much air, otherwise it can easily cause bloating. In addition, the interval between breastfeeding should also be reasonable. If the interval is too long, the baby will get hungry, and drinking milk quickly and urgently can also cause bloating.
After each feeding, parents can pat their baby's back to help them expel air from their stomach. Reduce the likelihood of bloating. Babies who are already eating complementary foods should also pay attention to eating less sweet potatoes, radishes, and other foods, as these foods can easily produce gas.
