Should I reduce the amount of milk for babies with intestinal bloating? Will babies with intestinal bloating lose their appetite?

Infant flatulence is a common symptom, and there are many reasons for it. Many mothers find that their babies eat less after they have flatulence. So here we will find out whether it is necessary to reduce the amount of milk for infants with intestinal flatulence? Will infants with intestinal flatulence lose their appetite?

If the baby has bloating, he will eat less. Bloating usually occurs when the baby inhales too much air due to the large bottle hole or incorrect posture during feeding, which causes the baby to feel uncomfortable due to bloating. The baby's aversion to milk can be improved by massaging or blocking the causes of bloating. Babies are more prone to bloating than adults. If the baby eats and sucks too quickly, air will be inhaled into the abdomen; if the nipple hole of the bottle is not of the right size, air will enter the baby's body through the gap of the nipple; in addition, the baby cries too much and inhales air; eating milk or other food, fermented in the digestive tract by intestinal bacteria and other digestive enzymes, and producing a large amount of gas will cause bloating. If the baby can eat, poop, has no vomiting, feels soft in the stomach, has good mobility, has normal gas discharge, and has normal weight gain, this type of bloating is mostly functional bloating, and no special treatment is required, as long as preventive measures are taken.

Infant flatulence may lead to anorexia. If the abdominal distension is obvious, accompanied by frequent vomiting, the baby is in poor spirits, does not eat milk, and the abdominal wall is hard, shiny and red. Some people may see exposed small blood vessels (medically known as varicose veins) and palpable lumps. In addition, the baby's stomach is ringing, which is mainly because a lot of air is swallowed when feeding. This is the sound of gas and liquid moving with the intestines. It is recommended that mothers should keep the baby's head slightly higher every time they breastfeed or feed their babies, and the nipple hole should be filled with milk to prevent the baby from drinking air. After the baby finishes drinking milk, he should stand up and pat his back until he burps. When the baby sucks milk by burping, allowing the baby to inhale the air in the stomach together will relieve this symptom. Newborns suffer from intestinal flatulence, and the main symptoms are abdominal distension, bloating, loss of appetite, and crying and restlessness.

The baby may suffer from flatulence, such as vomiting, poor diet, loss of appetite, etc. Therefore, in this case, the baby needs to be given some intestinal probiotics to improve it, and pay attention to eating less food and feeding some water between meals.

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.

The baby's bloating may lead to constipation, so when the baby has bloating, it is necessary to relieve it in time.
