1. What should I do if my baby has bloating and pain in the stomach after drinking beverages?

1. Drink white radish soup

White radish is cool in nature and sweet in taste. It belongs to the lung and spleen meridians and has the effects of eliminating stagnation, relieving gas and relieving fullness, and promoting diuresis and laxatives. The mustard oil and crude fiber it contains can promote gastrointestinal motility and promote the discharge of stool. Therefore, when children have bloating and discomfort, you can cook a bowl of white radish soup to drink, which helps to expel gas and digest food.

2. Drink tangerine peel tea

Tangerine peel is an excellent product for both medicine and food. It is warm in nature and bitter in taste. It has the effects of warming the stomach and dispelling cold, regulating qi and strengthening the spleen. It is suitable for people with stomach bloating, indigestion, and loss of appetite. If your child has bloating, you can take a few slices of tangerine peel and soak them in water to drink. It is simple and effective.

3. Local hot compress

When a child has a bloated stomach and feels uncomfortable, hot compress can be used to help gastrointestinal motility and gas discharge, thereby improving digestion and absorption function. Massage the abdomen with wind-repellent oil for a while, prepare a warm towel, wring out the water and apply it to the child's belly. Change to a new warm towel after 5 minutes until the abdominal distension is improved. It should be noted that before applying the towel to the child's belly, place the towel on your wrist to test the temperature to avoid scalding the child.

4. Abdominal massage

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

5. Adjust your eating habits

Children's abdominal bloating is mainly related to bad eating habits. It is recommended to eat small meals frequently and reduce the amount of each meal to reduce the burden on gastrointestinal digestion and relieve bloating. Drink plenty of water to promote bowel movements; avoid eating gas-producing foods such as beans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, onions, carbonated drinks, coffee, strong tea, etc. Eat more foods that promote gas discharge, such as radish, hawthorn, kumquat, celery, winter melon, etc.

I hope the above solutions to what to do if your baby has bloating can be helpful to everyone.
