What causes the baby's stomach to make noises when feeding?

Many young mothers will find a somewhat strange phenomenon when feeding their newborn babies. Some babies have rumbling stomachs when drinking milk. Is this normal? Why does the baby's stomach make rumbling sounds? Many mothers may ask this question: is it because the baby drinks milk too quickly and fails to digest it, causing the stomach to make rumbling sounds after drinking, and the baby also cries and passes gas? Well today I will tell you mothers what the reason is.

In fact, the stomach makes noises when drinking milk mainly because too much air is taken in during feeding. Therefore, remember to make sure that the milk fills the entire nipple when feeding your baby, and the nipple hole should not be too small to prevent the child from having difficulty sucking milk and inhaling too much air. Moreover, the concentration of milk and the interval time should also be appropriate.

The quality and time of a baby's sleep will affect their growth and development, so parents must find ways to let them sleep well. If you have a baby who likes to cry at night, the first thing you should do is to avoid showing an angry expression, as this will make the child even more reluctant to go to sleep. There are a few points you need to pay attention to. One is not to feed too much at night. When the baby is 6 months old, you should gradually stop the habit of feeding at night. If you feed your baby around 8 o'clock in the evening, your baby can generally sleep for 10 hours without feeling hungry. If you feed your baby too much, your baby may be too full to fall asleep.

Giving your baby more abdominal massages can help with gastrointestinal motility and gas discharge, thereby improving digestion and absorption. Also, when feeding, make sure that the milk fills the front end of the bottle nozzle, without any slope, to prevent the baby from inhaling air.

There is a small amount of gas in the intestines of normal people, and most of the body organs in the stomach are nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the air. In addition to air, the gases in the intestines also include hydrogen, methane and other trace gases. The rumbling sound of your stomach is caused by an abnormal increase in gas in the intestines. The cause of the increase in intestinal tissue. The most common cause is swallowing too much gas, such as being nervous, swallowing saliva all the time, drinking too much carbonated drinks or beer, or eating candy or smoking, which will swallow air into the stomach. The second reason is due to the production of too much carbon dioxide, such as taking stomach powder, stomach milk tablets, and carbonated drinks. Another third reason is excessive gas produced by intestinal bacterial fermentation. Excessive gas can cause symptoms such as bloating, burping, abdominal borborygmus, and flatulence. The principle of treating flatulence is first to prevent excessive swallowing of gas, such as psychological therapy to prevent tension, taking a vacation to have a good rest, and correcting bad eating habits, such as relaxing when eating, chewing slowly, eating small meals frequently, and not overeating. In addition, do not chew gum, lick candy, smoke, drink carbonated drinks, and do not eat too much gas-producing food and high-fiber food. Drinking too much milk can also cause bloating. If symptoms do not improve, you should seek treatment from a gastroenterologist and take medication.

Seeing this, you may say, is it because the baby is hungry and not full that the sound comes? We all know that the stomach will growl when it is hungry. This is a common experience for people. That's because we adults have to eat every day, and the food we eat is generally emptied from the stomach after about 4-5 hours. The gas in the stomach is usually swallowed along with the food when eating. When a baby drinks milk, there is only liquid and gas in his stomach. These liquid and gas will be squeezed and kneaded when the stomach wall contracts violently. Just like when we wash clothes, if there is a certain amount of air in the clothes, when we rub them in the water, gurgling sounds will appear. So we do not rule out that in a few cases it is because the baby is hungry.
