Reasons for babies’ belly tummy
After eating food, the body needs to digest it and break the food into smaller particles for the body to absorb. During this process, gas is produced in the stomach. However, the gastrointestinal system of babies is not yet fully developed and their digestive functions are not perfect, so the phenomenon of bloating is more common. In the intestines, intestinal bacteria can convert undigested food residues into organic acids, which will produce a large amount of gas and easily cause gas.
In addition, some foods themselves are prone to producing gas, such as vegetables with high fiber content, beans, dairy products, etc. If your baby eats these gas-producing foods, it can also lead to stomach upset and gas problems.
The impact of belly fat
The stomach will be filled with excess gas, causing the baby to feel distended, have difficulty falling asleep, and be hungry for food. At the same time, after the baby has a belly, the gas in the stomach needs to pass through the anus to be discharged from the body, which will cause the baby to fart frequently. If the baby\’s stomach is severely swollen, it will cause abdominal discomfort and a certain degree of pain, causing the baby to not like to breastfeed and lose appetite. In severe cases, it may even cause diarrhea, constipation and other problems.
Methods to relieve baby’s bloated belly
1. Change positions frequently. Lying flat can easily cause the baby to tummy. Changing the baby\’s position appropriately to promote the discharge of gas can relieve the baby\’s tummy discomfort.
2. Give your baby a massage. Proper massaging of your baby\’s belly, especially around the belly button, can help promote the passage of gas. Be gentle when massaging, and be careful not to press your baby\’s belly too hard.
3. Add digestive enzymes to milk powder. Digestive enzymes help break down food and reduce gas production. Therefore, adding an appropriate amount of digestive enzymes to milk powder can reduce the problem of baby\’s belly.
Precautions for eating and drinking when babies are pregnant
1. Eat slowly. Eating quickly can cause your baby to swallow more air, increasing the risk of bloating and gas. Therefore, when feeding, the baby should be allowed to eat slowly, pause appropriately, and allow the baby to burp or cough, which will help expel the gas in the stomach.
2. Pay attention to food matching. Gas-producing foods such as beans, carrots, and spicy foods should be avoided as much as possible. At the same time, when the baby drinks milk, a mat should be placed under the bottle to keep the bottle flat and prevent air from mixing into the bottle, which increases the risk of the baby ingesting gas.
3. Pay attention to your baby’s position. Your baby\’s position when feeding is also important. It\’s best to keep your baby\’s body facing up and his head higher than his body. This can reduce the amount of air your baby swallows and reduce the risk of tummy discomfort and gas.
Conclusion: It is a common phenomenon for babies to bloat and fart, especially when their digestive function is not fully developed. Parents can take some measures, such as changing positions frequently, massaging the baby, paying attention to the baby\’s eating habits, etc., to ease the baby\’s worries. At the same time, you need to always pay attention to the baby\’s physical changes, try to avoid the phenomenon of baby\’s belly and farting, and let the baby grow up happily.
