3 month old baby breast milk indigestion symptoms

For all mothers, especially three-month-old babies are still relatively weak, and their digestive systems are not fully developed. During the breastfeeding process, some babies will have symptoms such as abdominal distension, abnormal bowel movements, and no appetite. Mothers are particularly worried and don’t know what to do. Next, we will introduce in detail the symptoms of breast milk indigestion in three-month-old babies, the causes of breast milk indigestion in babies, and effective coping methods. Mothers can read the following content carefully.

Three-month-old babies have not yet added complementary foods, so there are two reasons for the three-month-old baby's food accumulation:

1. The mother’s improper diet causes the baby to have food accumulation.

If the mother eats the following foods, it will cause food accumulation in the baby.

Greasy food

The mother ate too much bone soup, pig's trotters, fish and meat, etc., which caused the fat content in her breast milk to be too high.

Difficult to digest food

Mothers should eat liquid foods or high-fiber foods regularly to help digestion.

Raw, cold and spicy food

This causes the breast milk to be cold, and the baby may have a stomachache and cry, but the adult thinks the baby is hungry and continues to feed him, causing food indigestion.

Three-month-old babies need to be fed regularly. Feed the baby every three hours. If the baby cries, first check if there is any other reason and try to maintain the feeding frequency of three hours.

Don’t think your baby is hungry just because he or she hums and then feed him or her. This will easily cause your baby to have food overeating. The interval between two meals should be at least 2.5 to 3 hours. The interval between two meals for babies should be longer.

1. Reduce food intake

If you find that your baby has indigestion, you need to reduce the amount of milk appropriately to reduce the burden on the baby's spleen and stomach.

2. Appropriate activities

Half an hour after eating, you can take your baby to appropriate activities, such as playing some interactive games, touching and massaging the abdomen, etc., to enhance the baby's gastrointestinal motility, which is beneficial to improving digestive ability.

3. Use stomachic and digestive drugs

For babies with severe indigestion, fever, vomiting and diarrhea, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

4. Massage

Parents who are interested in massage can also learn from experienced doctors how to pinch the spine, rub the Zhongwan point, and other methods to prevent and treat their baby's indigestion.
