What to do if a newborn baby has bloating

Abdominal bloating in newborns before one month of age is often caused by poor feeding habits. For this condition, appropriate abdominal massage may be performed to promote gastrointestinal motility and facilitate gas release and bowel movements. If necessary, digestive aids and medications that improve gastrointestinal motility can also be used to relieve symptoms. It is recommended to perform clockwise abdominal massage several times a day. Abdominal massage helps stimulate intestinal movement, aiding in排气 and defecation; when needed, prokinetic agents may be added to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, warm compresses on the abdomen and keeping the abdomen warm are beneficial. Infants can be given probiotics such as Bifidobacterium triple viable powder or Clostridium butyricum and Bacillus subtilis live bacterial preparations to support digestion. Avoid feeding cold milk. For mothers who are breastfeeding, maintain a light diet and avoid raw, cold, or irritating foods. If symptoms persist or fail to improve, timely medical evaluation at a hospital is advised.
