What should I do if my premature baby has bloating?

Babies are more prone to bloating, especially when eating. This is mostly caused by parents not paying attention to good posture when feeding. At the same time, because the baby is still young, his body function is relatively poor, so parents must pay special attention to it in normal times. Now let me tell you what to do.

The baby's belly has become bigger. When you tap it gently with your hand, it makes a "bang bang bang" sound like a drum. When you hold him, he keeps trying to climb onto his parents' chest or shoulders. I've been farting more frequently these days and I can't sleep well. It could be bloating. There are many reasons for flatulence. Since the baby's abdominal muscles are not fully developed, once he swallows a large amount of air, he will show obvious bloating.

If the baby holds the mother's nipple or pacifier in an incorrect position or if the milk is supplied too quickly or too slowly, he may inhale too much air. When a baby cries loudly or has a stuffy nose, it is easy for him to inhale more air, causing bloating in the newborn baby. Sometimes, there are a large number of bacteria in the baby's stomach and intestines. These bacteria can cause gas to be produced in the stomach and intestines, which can also cause bloating.

If the baby is bloating due to inhaling air while drinking milk, parents can try burping the baby. Try to have your baby stop and burp him between feedings, such as in the middle of a feed. Have your baby sit upright on his or her lap and pat his or her back gently until he or she burps. Massage and help your baby with exercises. Try laying your baby on his back and gently massaging his tummy in a clockwise motion. Parents can also try lifting the baby's legs close to the body and making a pedaling motion.

Now, are you all very clear about this? In fact, this situation is relatively easy to treat, and there are many treatment methods. However, it is best not to let your baby have this situation, because if it happens frequently, it will cause great harm to the baby.
