There is no way to stop your baby from hiccuping. And in fact, you as a parent don’t need to stop it either, because hiccups are a natural by-product of the process of digesting milk, food and gulping air in babies and toddlers. Since babies can’t express their feelings in words yet, if you notice that they are crying and have a poor appetite and a protruding, bulging tummy, it could be flatulence. In addition, if there are burping, diarrhea, bloating or farting, it may also be a symptom of flatulence, parents should be more observant and pay more attention. The main reason for baby flatulence 1: food 1, breastfeeding, the mother should check their food, avoid eating beans, cauliflower and spicy food. In addition, if the breast milk contains too much sugar, sugar in the baby’s stomach excessive fermentation, but also easy to make the baby appear intestinal flatulence. 2, formula feeding, you should pay special attention when choosing formula, you should choose lactose-free, soy-free or hypoallergenic formula, which may help reduce your child’s tummy distension. However, it is important to know that even if you switch the formula, it will take at least two weeks to see the results. 3. Certain solid foods may also cause hiccups and bloating. For example, cereal grains, vegetables (mashed peas, mashed soybeans), etc. contain fiber that can lead to colonic flatulence. And most pure fruit juices such as apples, pears, apricots, etc., which contain high concentrations of sugar, are also triggers that cause gas to coalesce poorly in the infant’s abdomen. The best way to identify the culprits that make your little one’s bloating uncomfortable is to subtract one food from your baby’s diet for a few days at a time, observe if the baby reacts, and then slowly reintroduce that food. The main reason for the baby’s flatulence 2: feeding style 1, the correct posture in the case of breastfeeding is best to let the child’s face right to the breast (rather than at an angle), to ensure that his mouth will contain the nipple and areola all. 2. Babies who are bottle-fed are more likely to inhale too much air. You should try to position your baby’s head at 45 degrees and keep the bottle tilted accordingly so that the teat is always full of milk. If your baby has a better swallowing ability, you can also keep the hole in the pacifier from being too big to reduce the amount of air he inhales while drinking milk. The main reason for baby’s flatulence 3: the vicious cycle of crying The baby’s emotional atrophy tends to worsen the distention of his tummy. Children swallow a lot of air when they cry, and this creates a vicious circle: once a baby starts crying, he tends to get bloated due to hiccups, which in turn causes him to become physically uncomfortable, causing him to cry even more.
