During the growth of a baby, there are always problems of one kind or another, such as flatulence. Flatulence can make your baby feel bloated and cry, and parents are often helpless to do anything about it because they are inexperienced and can only watch their babies suffer. Generally speaking, flatulence starts to appear around 1 month after birth and is more serious, and it will ease after 2 months and last up to 4 months. In addition, flatulence usually occurs in the first or second half of the night, but does not last throughout the night. If your baby’s tummy is big and there is a “thumping” sound when you knock on his tummy, that means he is bloated. Why are babies more prone to flatulence? 1, and gastrointestinal function is not mature: in infancy, the baby’s digestive system is not mature, plus lying all day, food is easy to accumulate in the baby’s tiny stomach, which can easily lead to flatulence. 2, feeding incorrect: Some mothers, because they are still inexperienced, always wait until the baby is so hungry that they cry a lot before feeding the baby. The baby is too hungry and will eat very fast and hard, so it is easy to suck the air into the stomach to cause bloating. 3, the choice of pacifier is not suitable: pacifier and pacifier hole size according to the baby’s age to choose. If the pacifier hole is too big, the baby will easily suck in the air and milk together; if the pacifier hole is too small, the baby will sip hard because he can’t sip the milk, and in the process he will easily suck in the air, which will lead to flatulence. 4.Incorrect breastfeeding posture: Some mothers do not have the right posture when breastfeeding, they do not let the baby contain most of the areola or do not put the pacifier completely into the baby’s mouth, which will also make the baby swallow a lot of air and cause flatulence. 5, ate gas-producing food: For babies who are exclusively breastfed, mothers should check their diet to see if there are gas-producing foods such as cereal roughage (such as sweet potatoes, taro, cereals, etc.), vegetables (such as beans, potatoes, onions, collard greens, etc.), fruits (such as apples, peaches, etc.). If so, it’s time to watch what you eat. If the baby has added complementary foods, then parents have to check whether the baby’s diet has the above gas-producing foods. 6, baby lactose intolerance: If the baby is lactose intolerant, after eating dairy foods or foods with high concentration of sugar such as apple juice, it will cause flatulence because it cannot absorb the lactose inside. In addition to bloating, the child will also be accompanied by thin, frequent, foamy stools and heavy acidity. 7. The result of crying: When a child cries, he swallows a lot of air, which causes a vicious circle: once the baby starts to cry, he often gets bloated due to hiccups, which in turn leads to discomfort and makes him cry even more. 8, caused by certain diseases: certain diseases, such as indigestion and constipation make the intestines due to the accumulation of feces, prompting the proliferation of gas-producing bad bacteria, producing large amounts of gas, which leads to flatulence; enlarged organs in the abdominal cavity, such as enlarged liver and spleen, cirrhosis of the liver, or organs and tissues in the abdominal cavity grow tumors, will also cause bloating. Tips to relieve baby flatulence: 1. Avoid eating gas-producing foods If the baby is breastfed and often flatulent, the mother should try to avoid eating foods that are likely to cause flatulence, and if the child’s flatulence is reduced after the mother passes a diet of moderation, then the mother should stay away from foods that are likely to cause flatulence for some time. If the child becomes flatulent after drinking formula, try to change to another brand of formula. When changing formula, you should try to choose lactose-free, soy-based or hypoallergenic formula. 2. Use the correct feeding position When breastfeeding your baby, let him hold most of the nipple and areola. If you hear “goo” bubbling sounds or see milk flowing from the corners of your child’s mouth when using a bottle, it means that your child is not very tightly wrapped around the nipple. At this point, you should position your baby’s head at 45° and tilt the bottle accordingly so that the milk fills the pacifier. In addition, the size of the pacifier hole should be appropriate for the baby’s age. 3.Pat your back after feeding your child, don’t put your baby to bed immediately after feeding him, but you should first hold him vertically, let his head rest on the adult’s shoulder, and then gently pat his back with your hand until he burps before letting him lie down. 4, with the rugby ball hold method Parents can let the baby’s body face down on their arms, palms hold the baby’s head, like this: 5, massage the abdomen When the baby’s stomach bloated, you can rub your palms hot, the baby’s abdomen clothes up, palms against the baby’s navel, clockwise gently massage, because the baby’s skin is more sensitive, so the mother massage must pay attention to the gentle approach, morning In the afternoon once each, each time 50 strokes, pay attention to massage to and after feeding time interval of more than half an hour.
