How to solve the problem of infant intestinal bloating? What causes infant intestinal bloating?

Because babies are born not long ago, their stomachs are very fragile. They can easily inhale a lot of air when feeding, so flatulence is a very common phenomenon. So let's find out how to quickly solve baby flatulence. What causes baby flatulence?

What to do if a baby has intestinal bloating? There are mainly the following ways to solve it: First, the main reason for a baby's intestinal bloating is that when feeding, the baby swallows a lot of air, which leads to abdominal bloating. After feeding the baby, you must hold him up and put him on your shoulder, pat him well, and let him expel the gas by burping him. Second, the baby's bloating is caused by indigestion, so the bloating occurs. For this situation, one is to adjust the food intake appropriately, not to feed too much or too frequently, and the other is to feed the child some intestinal probiotics to help him digest. Third, the baby's intestinal bloating may still be due to poor intestinal peristalsis, so you can feed the child some warm boiled water to promote intestinal peristalsis, which can also relieve the intestinal bloating.

1. When the abdominal muscles are not strong enough, the abdomen will appear to be more prominent, especially when the baby is held, the abdomen will appear to sag. In addition, the baby's body is round from front to back, not slightly flat like an adult, which is also one of the reasons why the belly looks bloated.

2. Babies are more prone to bloating than adults. If babies eat and suck too quickly, they will inhale air into their abdomens. If the nipple hole of the bottle is not the right size, air will enter the baby's body through the gap of the nipple. In addition, babies cry too much and inhale air. When eating milk or other food, it will ferment in the digestive tract through the action of intestinal bacteria and other digestive enzymes, producing a large amount of gas, which will cause bloating.

If the baby can eat, defecate, does not vomit, has a soft belly, is active, passes gas normally, and gains weight normally, this type of abdominal distension is mostly functional abdominal distension and does not require special treatment, just take preventive measures.

3. Indigestion and constipation cause the accumulation of feces in the intestines, which promotes the proliferation of gas-producing bad bacteria. Milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance, enteritis, etc. can cause digestion and poor absorption, which can easily produce a large amount of gas.

4. Enlarged organs or tumors in the abdominal cavity, such as hepatosplenomegaly, cirrhosis, etc. The organs and tissues in the abdominal cavity may grow tumors, and the larger the tumor grows, the more it will cause abdominal distension.

5. The main symptom of lower intestinal obstruction in babies is abdominal distension. Intestinal obstruction in infants and young children, severe complete obstruction, is usually discovered soon after birth due to obvious symptoms. However, if it is only an incomplete obstruction, it may be missed even after a long delay. For example, congenital megacolon is caused by the incomplete development of intestinal ganglia from top to bottom during embryonic development, which causes the end of the large intestine to be unable to relax, causing the normal large intestine above to swell up. In addition to the baby's significant abdominal distension, there is usually also delayed release of meconium or constipation.

It is normal for newborn babies to have intestinal bloating due to their weak spleen and stomach. Generally, the symptoms of intestinal bloating will disappear at 4 months. Intestinal bloating may also occur in pathological cases, which may be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, such as swallowing too much air, catching a cold, indigestion, etc., which causes intestinal gas accumulation and intestinal bloating. After reasonable feeding, warmth and treatment, you can give your child more abdominal hot compresses and clockwise massage, and the symptoms will be relieved or disappear after 1-2 weeks. If the bloating is not caused by changes in intestinal function, but by organic intestinal diseases, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis in time, find out the cause of the intestinal bloating, and treat it under the guidance of a doctor. The effect of the treatment should be used to determine how long it will take to get better.

The clinical symptoms of neonatal intestinal flatulence are abdominal distension, vomiting, poor mental state, unwillingness to eat milk, crying, and frequent farting. In severe cases, the abdominal wall will be swollen and hard, and there may be abnormal stool characteristics. When the baby has this phenomenon, you can massage the baby's abdomen clockwise with the navel as the center. If necessary, you can take medicine to regulate the stomach under the guidance of a doctor. Measures recommended It is recommended that parents keep the baby's abdomen warm during this period. At the same time, the hygiene of the nipples and the disinfection of the milk bottles should be done to avoid intestinal infections causing intestinal flatulence. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should adjust the diet structure and eat less spicy and irritating foods and overly cold foods. For artificially fed babies who always have bloating and poor bowel movements, pay attention to whether the baby is adapting to the current milk powder.
