What causes abdominal bloating in premature infants?

Abdominal bloating in premature infants may be caused by indigestion, resulting from their immature digestive system. This immaturity makes them prone to indigestion and abdominal distension after swallowing milk. You can appropriately reduce the amount of milk fed and monitor the bloating condition. When bloating occurs, gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction to help expel gas.
