What are the symptoms of baby's abdominal distension?

Generally, babies are breastfed after birth, which is beneficial to their health. However, after a period of breastfeeding, babies sometimes do not poop. Mothers think that the baby is constipated. In fact, this situation is what we often call constipation. Constipation means that the baby does not poop for many days. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the duration of constipation is long, you should pay attention to it and it is best to see a doctor for examination.

A baby's abdominal distension usually occurs when he or she does not defecate for several consecutive days after one month. Some babies often go without a bowel movement for two to four days, or even half a month, during the period of one to two months. Normally this phenomenon only occurs when the baby is one to two months old, within about 30 days. The stool color of my baby with polydipsia is normal and not dry. Babies with polydipsia usually do not show any special symptoms when they defecate. However, if the child's stool is hard, this may be constipation, so parents must pay attention to the difference between the symptoms of the two and do not give the baby any medicine to treat constipation.

When a baby has constipation, a mother who doesn't understand the situation will inevitably worry. In fact, for babies, having a full stomach is a very normal physiological phenomenon. The baby's stomach is full, which often happens to babies who are breastfed. As the baby grows older, his gastrointestinal digestive ability is enhanced and he can absorb the nutrients in breast milk more comprehensively. Therefore, only a small amount of residue will remain in the baby's stomach and intestines every day. These residues are not enough for the baby to form stool, so the normal physiological phenomenon of abdominal retention will eventually occur.

The length of time a baby's constipation lasts varies greatly. For most children, it is about ten days, but for some, it can last half a month or even a month. Every baby has a different level of development. Generally, their bowel movements will decrease after one month. As long as the baby's other conditions are normal, mothers should not worry too much. However, if your baby has abdominal distension, loss of appetite, and constant crying, parents need to take the child to the hospital for examination in time.
