You can also give the baby some warm water appropriately. The heat in the warm water also helps to discharge the air in the baby's stomach. In addition, parents should also pay attention to avoid bloating in babies in daily life. Especially when feeding, pay attention to the correct feeding posture, do not let the baby enter with air while feeding, which may easily cause bloating in the baby.

If the baby has a bloated stomach, it may cause a fever if it is serious. Therefore, it is necessary to relieve the bloating in time. If it is mild, parents can help the baby massage the area around the stomach, or help the baby do passive movements.
