What to do if a newborn has severe flatulence? How to quickly exhaust the gas in a newborn

Many first-time mothers are always caught off guard by some of their children's problems, such as baby flatulence. This is a relatively common phenomenon. As long as the mother handles it properly, the baby will not have any problems. So what should I do if my newborn has severe flatulence? How can I quickly expel the gas from my newborn?

1. Avoid eating gas-producing foods. If the baby is breastfed and often bloated, the mother should try to avoid eating foods that easily cause bloating. If the mother's child's bloating is relieved after a moderate diet, the mother should stay away from those foods that easily cause bloating for a period of time. If the child bloates after drinking milk powder, you can try to change to another brand of milk powder. When changing milk powder, try to choose lactose-free, soy-free or low-allergenic formula milk powder.

2. Use the correct feeding posture. When feeding your baby, let him hold most of the nipple and areola. When feeding with a bottle, if you hear a "cooing" sound or see milk flowing out of the corners of the baby's mouth, it means that the child is not holding the nipple tightly. At this time, you should place the baby's head at 45 degrees and tilt the bottle accordingly so that the milk fills the nipple. In addition, the size of the nipple hole should also be appropriate to the baby's age. Parents also need to pay attention not to wait until the baby is hungry and crying very hard before feeding him. If the child cries very hard, parents should first calm the child down and then feed him.

3. Pat the baby's back after feeding. After feeding, do not put the baby on the bed immediately. Instead, hold the baby upright and let the baby's head rest on the adult's shoulder. Then pat the baby's back gently with your hands until the baby burps before letting him lie down.

A big reason for infant flatulence is improper feeding, which is caused by the baby swallowing too much air during feeding. Some of it is also because the baby is constipated, and the feces accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, causing the growth of gas-producing bacteria, resulting in indigestion and producing a lot of gas. Some of it is also due to pathological factors, and the baby's intestinal peristalsis is hindered, causing intestinal flatulence. According to different reasons, these factors should be avoided, and at the same time, when flatulence occurs, it is necessary to quickly promote exhaust. The details are as follows: 1. Hot compress relieves flatulence. Applying a hot towel on the baby's belly can play a role in exhausting. 2. Massage the abdomen to relieve flatulence. You can massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote exhaust. 3. You can use some food therapy, gas-relieving food, such as radish water, etc., but don't eat too much at one time. 4. If there is no relief, you can give the baby some appropriate medicines, such as bifidobacteria, probiotics, and simethicone. 5. If it still doesn't work, you can use an anal tube to exhaust. Of course, anal tube exhaust should be handled by the medical department.

If a newborn has intestinal gas, the child will be irritable, cry, and have poor feeding and refuse to feed. At this time, you should observe the child's condition and look at the child's complexion. If the child cries, is irritable, and does not feed, you can touch the child's stomach. You will feel that the child's stomach is bloated and there is a gurgling sound in the child's stomach. At this time, you can feed the child less milk. In addition, you can massage the child's abdomen with your hands, massage the child's abdomen clockwise with your hands, or warm the child's abdomen with a warm water bag to relieve the child's symptoms of intestinal gas. In short, do not force the child to feed when the child has intestinal gas. Wait until the child's bloating is relieved before gradually feeding the child. In addition, you can also take intestinal probiotics to relieve the child's symptoms of intestinal gas.

If a newborn has bloating after breastfeeding, the mother needs to avoid eating foods that are easy to produce gas, such as soy products, cold things, spicy things, and particularly greasy high-protein and high-fat foods, which will produce gas. Try to eat lighter foods, and the baby's bloating symptoms will be relieved when breastfeeding. At the same time, if the mother also has bloating or constipation, it should be corrected in time. If the mother does not correct it, the baby's bloating will be bad for the baby's breast milk. Mothers can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, avoid spicy foods, and try to eat easily digestible foods. Sometimes, if the mother is constipated, she can eat some probiotics and pay attention to the adjustment of life, then the baby's bloating will also be relieved.
