The health and happiness of children every day are the most important things that parents see. However, due to the poor immunity of children when they are young, they are prone to illness. If they eat improperly or catch a cold, they are more likely to experience bloating. Parents will be very worried. So, what's the problem with babies having bloating and hiccups?
What's wrong with a baby's bloating and hiccups
1. Swallowing too much air.
When a baby drinks milk from a bottle, if they suck too quickly, it is easy to inhale too much air. If the nipple hole size of the bottle is not appropriate or the bottle is tilted, air will be sucked into the abdomen through the nipple gap, and excessive crying of the baby can also cause bloating.
2. Digestive disorders.
Due to the accumulation of feces in the intestine, the proliferation of gas producing bacteria, or digestive and absorptive disorders caused by milk protein allergies, lactose intolerance, enteritis, etc., can easily produce a large amount of gas.
What should I do if my baby has bloating
1. Cultivate eating habits
Do not feed the baby after being hungry for too long. Babies are hungry for too long, sucking too quickly, and swallowing large amounts of air. So it is important to feed your baby on time and help them burp after feeding, allowing gas from the gastrointestinal tract to flow out of the esophagus.
2. Seek medical attention immediately for abnormal bloating
If the baby's belly is swollen and hard, and the baby looks uncomfortable and has poor mental state, usually accompanied by vomiting or wheezing, parents should pay special attention and take the baby for medical examination and treatment as soon as possible.
When babies are young, no matter what food they see, they always want to put it in their mouths. They tend to eat randomly and develop a bad habit. Over time, they are more likely to experience bloating, which can lead to hiccups. This is quite normal, so parents must cultivate good habits for their children. If there is severe bloating, it should be checked in a timely manner.
