Generally, babies are most likely to experience bloating about one month after birth, and it will be relieved after two months. If parents find that their baby's belly is round and always makes a "gurgling" sound, and they often kick and push, making their little face red, as if they can't poop, it is likely that they are bloated. Babies with bloating often cry frequently and violently, especially at night. It is useless to hold, coax or feed them. They will cry until they have no strength, pass gas or defecate.
