Prevention and care of bloating in infants

Young children's bodies have relatively poor resistance, so they need careful care in life, especially in terms of diet. Don't let them eat random things, as this will be bad for their stomachs and may cause bloating. When children have bloating, you should let them walk around more. Let us learn about some preventive care for young children's bloating.

Actively prevent abdominal bloating caused by improper feeding or indigestion, promote breastfeeding, actively prevent and treat gastrointestinal infections, and prevent and treat constipation. The above are common medical diseases that cause abdominal bloating. Ways to prevent bloating:

1. Eat less foods that easily produce gas in the stomach and intestines, such as potatoes, pasta, sugar, etc., which easily produce gas in the stomach and intestines, and eventually lead to bloating.

2. Do not eat foods that are difficult to digest. Hard foods such as fried beans and hard pancakes are not easy to digest and stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, which may produce more gas and cause bloating.

3. Good eating habits: Change the habit of eating too fast, because eating too fast or eating while walking can easily lead to swallowing a lot of air; often using a straw to drink beverages will also allow a lot of air to sneak into the stomach, causing bloating.

4. Prevent negative emotions. Negative emotions such as anxiety, worry, sadness, frustration, and depression may weaken the digestive function or stimulate the stomach to produce too much gastric acid, resulting in increased stomach gas and aggravated abdominal bloating.

5. Strengthen your physical fitness. Pay attention to physical exercise and insist on moderate outdoor exercise every day. It will not only help you overcome negative emotions, but also help the digestive system maintain normal function.

6. Moderately supplement fiber foods. High-fiber foods can sometimes reduce bloating, especially after consuming high-fat foods. This is because high-fat foods are difficult to digest and absorb, and therefore tend to stay in the stomach and intestines for a longer time. Once fiber is added, the blocked digestive system is likely to be unblocked quickly.

7. Prevent gastrointestinal diseases. For some diseases, abdominal distension may be a precursor or one of the symptoms, such as allergic enteritis, ulcerative colitis, etc.

The above article introduces the preventive care for infants with bloating. After bloating, you should pay attention to eating more easily digestible foods, and avoid eating too spicy or irritating foods, as this will increase the workload of the gastrointestinal tract.
