After the birth of babies, parents must take good care of them, because babies at this time are very fragile and have lower immunity, making them particularly susceptible to diseases. Some parents find that their babies have round bellies, so they are more worried about what kind of illness they may have. So, why is a baby's belly round?
Generally speaking, when a baby is born, their belly is round and bulging, which is a very normal phenomenon. However, as the child grows up, their belly can gradually become flat. Because the abdominal muscles of a baby are not yet fully developed, but they have to accommodate many internal organs, they appear swollen and bloated.
A round belly in a baby may also be caused by bloating. Babies are particularly prone to bloating because their gastrointestinal development is immature and their intestinal peristalsis is not coordinated, which can easily cause bloating. And when children are breastfeeding, they may ingest a lot of air, which is also a common cause of bloating in children.
If a baby's belly is very swollen, feels tight, and has loss of appetite, poor anal exhaust, and bowel movements, it is important to be vigilant. This is mostly caused by diseases such as intestinal obstruction. After a child develops the above symptoms, parents must take them seriously and promptly take the child to the hospital. After the doctor clarifies the condition, corresponding treatment measures will be taken.
