Why is the newborn baby's stomach rumbling?

Every mother is very concerned about the health of her newborn baby, because only a healthy baby can develop and grow normally. So when her baby has a rumbling stomach, parents will be particularly worried. The following content will introduce in detail why a newborn baby has a rumbling stomach, and parents can have a comprehensive understanding of this aspect.

In fact, the baby's stomach growling is caused by intestinal gas, which is a very common physiological phenomenon. Most babies' stomach growling is not a big deal, so parents don't need to worry too much. After a baby is born, there are many things he needs to get familiar with. For sucking, he needs to work with his mother to complete the task of breastfeeding. If the baby is not used to it, he will always inhale air when breastfeeding. Sometimes when the baby is hungry and in a hurry to breastfeed, he will also inhale air. This will cause intestinal gas in the baby's stomach, making gurgling sounds.

This condition usually needs no attention and will resolve on its own over time. In order to avoid this situation, the baby must be held upright and the diaphragm must be patted after each feeding until the milk comes out and then the baby can be put down flat. This can prevent intestinal gas and prevent the baby from spitting up milk. Severe spitting up milk can easily cause the baby to suffocate, which has very serious consequences. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the process of patting the diaphragm.

Another possibility is that the baby does have a gastrointestinal disease, such as acute gastroenteritis, which causes symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. The baby's gastrointestinal function will be weakened, and the weakened gastrointestinal tract will produce intestinal gas. For the gurgling sound produced in this situation, you must consult a doctor for symptomatic treatment. You cannot give your baby medicine at home, especially for infants.

Breast milk contains ingredients that cause digestive tract fermentation and can also cause the baby's stomach to growl. If the baby eats the ingredients that cause digestive tract fermentation directly, the symptoms will be more obvious. Then, the symptoms will disappear if the baby stops eating these foods.

If the baby's stomach is not just rumbling, but is also accompanied by nausea, loss of appetite, poor spirits, diarrhea, and constant crying, then you must take your baby to the hospital for treatment and do not delay the baby's illness. Many times, the rumbling stomach is also a signal sent by the baby's body itself. Parents should not ignore this signal just because it is a common physiological phenomenon. The disease must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise delaying the treatment may make the baby's condition worse.
