If the baby’s stomach is bloated, the abdomen will be more round and rolled when observed on the outside, and there may be enhanced bowel sounds and crying, etc. The abdomen is usually hard when touched, and can be relieved by massage and other means.
Baby’s flatulence may be related to inhaling a large amount of air during breastfeeding, indigestion, or eating gas-producing food. Parents can observe or feel the baby’s abdomen with their hands. If they find that the baby’s stomach looks round and bulging or is hard to touch, it is possible that the baby has a bloated tummy.
In addition to this, babies may also show symptoms such as crying and increased bowel sounds when on their tummies, which can also assist in determining the baby’s tummy distension. You can relieve your baby’s bloated tummy by massaging, burping, and applying appropriate heat.
If the baby’s stomach is bloated and has not been able to relieve, parents should take the baby to the hospital for examination in time so as not to miss the condition.
