The gastrointestinal function of babies is very fragile. If not taken care of properly, babies are prone to gastrointestinal diseases. A common occurrence is bloating in the stomach. When babies experience bloating, they not only feel listless but also cry and make noise. So, what should be done for 15 month old babies with bloating?
The bloating in the baby's stomach is usually caused by indigestion. Mothers can use a hot towel to apply heat to the baby's stomach, promoting the absorption and excretion of air by the intestines and stomach. It is important to note that the towel should not be too hot, preferably slightly hot, as too hot can easily burn the baby, while too cold has no effect. Probiotics can also be used to improve the baby's intestines, promote intestinal peristalsis, and facilitate gas excretion.
Some babies may experience bloating due to overeating, which can cause them to inhale a large amount of air. If the baby is fed formula milk, it may also be caused by an unsuitable nipple hole in the bottle, which can lead to the baby inhaling air. Breastfeeded babies may experience bloating, which may be related to their mothers frequently consuming spicy foods.
To avoid bloating in the baby, when feeding the baby, the mother should make sure the baby is in a proper posture, not lying down to eat, and not letting the baby play and eat at the same time. The diet should be arranged reasonably, rich and diverse, and avoid being too monotonous. The amount of food eaten at once should not be too much. In addition, you can also do some abdominal exhaust massage exercises for the baby.
