How to solve baby's bloating

Parents need to take comprehensive care of their babies, especially for babies of a few months old. They need to pay attention to the baby's immunity at all times. The choice of food cannot be random, otherwise it will cause indigestion, bloating and other problems in the baby. Many parents don't know how to solve the baby's stomach bloating. When the baby has such a problem, there are some good ways to improve it. The following is a detailed introduction.

Babies with bloating need a balanced diet and good eating habits. Do not let the baby go hungry for too long before feeding. You can do moderate abdominal massage to promote intestinal peristalsis and exhaust, and improve digestion and absorption function.

1. Eat a balanced diet

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, breastfeeding mothers should try to avoid eating foods that can easily cause gas in babies, such as beans, corn, sweet potatoes, cauliflower and spicy foods.

2. Develop eating habits

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, burp your baby to allow the gas in the stomach and intestines to be discharged from the esophagus.

3. Abdominal massage

Moderate massage can promote intestinal peristalsis and gas discharge, thereby relieving baby's bloating. The specific method is to wash your hands, then use your palms to gently massage the baby's belly in a clockwise direction with the baby's belly button as the center. Each massage lasts about 5 minutes. Your hands should be warm and the pressure should be moderate, otherwise it may make your baby uncomfortable.

4. Seek medical attention immediately if you have abnormal bloating

If the baby's belly is swollen and hard, and the baby looks very uncomfortable and in poor spirits, and usually vomits or wheezes, it is even worse. Parents should pay special attention and take the baby to the doctor for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

5. Home care

It is also helpful to use wind-repellent oil on the abdomen and cover it with a warm towel. These help gastrointestinal motility and gas discharge to improve digestion and absorption function.
