How to quickly solve children's bloating?

7 ways to deal with bloating in children

Measure 1: Don’t let your baby be hungry for too long before feeding. If your baby is hungry for too long, he will suck too quickly and swallow a lot of air. Therefore, you should feed your baby on time, and after feeding, gently pat your baby's back to promote burping and allow gastrointestinal gas to be discharged from the esophagus.

Measure 2: When the baby cries, it is easy to get bloating. In this case, parents should give more comfort or hug him to avoid worsening of bloating by adjusting his emotions.

Measure 3: Massage your baby's abdomen more often, in a clockwise direction for 5 minutes. Or using wind-repellent oil on the abdomen or covering it with a warm towel can also help. These help gastrointestinal motility and gas discharge to improve digestion and absorption function.

Measure 4: If breast milk contains too much sugar, the sugar will ferment excessively in the baby's stomach and can easily cause the baby to have intestinal gas. At this time, the mother should pay attention to limiting her sugar intake. In addition, if you suspect that your eating may cause your baby's bloating, then breastfeeding mothers should eliminate suspicious foods such as beans, corn, sweet potatoes, cauliflower and spicy foods from their diet.

Measure 5: For babies who are bottle-fed, care should be taken to ensure that the milk fills the front end of the bottle nozzle and that there is no slope to prevent the baby from inhaling air. For a breastfed baby, if the baby's mouth is not placed properly relative to the mother's breast while feeding, the baby may inhale too much air, resulting in burping or abdominal bloating. The correct posture is to have the baby's face facing the mother's breast to ensure that his mouth covers the nipple and areola.

Measure 6: Certain solid foods may also cause belching and bloating. For example, whole grains and some vegetables such as pea paste and soybean paste contain fiber that can cause intestinal bloating. Kiwi, pear, pineapple, fruit juice, etc. contain high concentrations of sugar, which can also cause abdominal bloating in infants and should be eaten less.

Measure 7: If your baby has abdominal distension and vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, difficulty passing gas through the anus, or even fever, bloody stools, or tenderness in the abdomen, or shortness of breath, or something like a lump can be felt in the abdomen, you should pay special attention and take your baby to the doctor for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
