Causes and relieving methods of flatulence in infants

Babies are prone to flatulence because their abdominal muscles are not mature enough to accommodate as many internal organs as adults. In addition, the baby's body is round, which is different from the slightly flat body of adults, and it also increases the chance of bloating. So, what caused the baby's belly to swell? This article will answer you one by one.

Inhale air when eating.

If the baby eats too fast or sucks too fast, air will enter the abdomen, which will be fermented by intestinal bacteria and other digestive enzymes, producing a lot of gas, leading to bloating.

Indigestible food

The baby's digestive system is weak, and eating too much indigestible food can easily cause abdominal distension and constipation.

Abdominal diseases

If the baby suffers from abdominal diseases such as abdominal organ enlargement and tumor, it will increase the chance of abdominal distension.

Pay attention to feeding

Pay attention to feeding the baby, and don't let the baby starve for too long before feeding. At the same time, it is necessary to control the baby's eating speed and avoid inhaling too much air.

Pat on the back

After the baby eats milk or has a meal, you can pat his back gently to promote burping, so that the gas in the gastrointestinal tract can be discharged from the esophagus.

♀? Massage relief

In daily life, you can massage your baby's abdomen clockwise for 5 minutes. Or use wind oil and cover it with a warm towel.
