Abdominal pain caused by cold
The baby’s little tummy has little fat, and the abdominal wall is relatively thin, especially around the navel. When the small tummy gets cold, the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by the cold, and strong contraction may occur, causing spasmodic abdominal pain. In addition, a cold tummy will also speed up intestinal peristalsis and increase the number of stools, as long as the stools do not have mucus and pus and blood, it does not matter.
Keeping the tummy warm
To prevent your baby’s little belly from getting cold, your mother must focus on protecting your baby’s belly when you sleep, even if it’s hot, you should cover your baby’s belly with something, even a thin towel blanket.
