Newborns with bloating will keep feeding. What should I do if my newborn still wants to feed when his stomach is bloated?

It is a normal phenomenon for newborns to have flatulence. Many babies who are born not long ago will have this phenomenon. Usually, babies with flatulence will be unwilling to breastfeed. So, will newborns keep breastfeeding when they have flatulence? What should I do if my newborn keeps wanting to breastfeed when his stomach is bloated?

Generally, the main reason for newborns to have intestinal gas is that the baby's abdomen is cold or the baby eats a lot of milk at a time, which causes improper feeding, and the baby may have gas. Generally, when the baby has gas, he will be unwilling to eat milk. If the baby keeps eating milk, it means that the baby is not full, or the baby's stomach is uncomfortable, and the baby is seeking stability, so the baby's abdominal gas should be relieved in time. If the baby's intestinal gas is caused by cold abdomen, you can use a warm water bag to heat the baby's abdomen to effectively relieve the baby's gas. If the baby is not full or inhales a lot of air due to improper feeding, crying during feeding can swallow a lot of gas, causing intestinal gas. To relieve the baby's intestinal gas, you can massage the baby's abdomen clockwise with your hands, which can effectively relieve the baby's gas. In addition, if the baby keeps eating milk, it means that the baby's stomach is uncomfortable or not full. You can pick up the baby and pat the baby's back to promote the relief of the baby's intestinal gas.

If the baby does not cry or make a fuss, and does not show any other uncomfortable symptoms, do not worry too much, as it may be caused by intestinal bloating. In this case, parents can rub their hands to warm them up and gently place them on the baby's belly and massage them for a while, which will have a certain relief effect. If the baby's belly is still bloated after massaging the belly, you can try giving the baby some probiotics to regulate the baby's stomach. Remember to control the water temperature when flushing probiotics, and do not make it too hot, otherwise it will destroy the activity of the probiotics. If the baby has a bloated belly and is accompanied by symptoms such as crying, nausea, and vomiting, take the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination immediately. This may be caused by gastrointestinal problems and requires symptomatic treatment.

Newborns will spit up milk due to bloating, which is a normal phenomenon. Because after drinking milk, there is gas in the stomach of newborns, and the pressure in the stomach will cause spitting up or milk overflow. Baby spitting up is a self-protection reaction. After feeding, it is recommended to hold the baby upright and pat the back gently, which is conducive to the discharge of air in the stomach and reduces spitting up. When feeding at night, you must pay attention to whether the child spit up milk to avoid suffocation if you fail to find it in time after spitting up milk.

It is common for babies to have bloating after birth, which feels like flatulence. There are many reasons that can cause bloating in babies' abdomens, most of which do not indicate pathological conditions. Usually, babies will not have obvious bloating after six months. If you want to relieve your baby's bloating, you can gently pat the baby's back after feeding to promote burping, so that the gas in the stomach and intestines can be discharged from the esophagus. When feeding, hold the baby up to feed. The baby's head is padded up and the parent's arm is at 45 degrees, which can reduce the entry of gas. When feeding with a bottle or nipple, be sure to fill the nipple with milk to reduce the gas being inhaled by the baby. For breastfeeding babies, mothers should not only put the nipple in the baby's mouth, but also try to put more of the areola in, which can also reduce the entry of gas.
