Infant abdominal gas distension

Abdominal bloating refers to a feeling of fullness or swelling in the belly. It can generally be improved through the following methods: 1. Abdominal massage: If bloating is the only symptom and there are no other discomforts, it is recommended to lay the infant on the bed and gently massage the abdomen in clockwise or counterclockwise directions to help expel gas from the gastrointestinal tract more quickly. 2. Adjust feeding position: It is advisable to keep the infant in an upright position during and after feeding. Supportive tools such as nursing pillows or baby holders can be used to aid digestion and reduce gas buildup. 3. Local heat application: A warm water bottle or a warm towel can be placed on the infant’s stomach to help relax the intestines and quickly relieve bloating. 4. Acupuncture: When necessary, acupuncture may also be performed, which can help unblock meridians and promote gas release from the abdomen. 5. Medication: If symptoms persist without improvement and are accompanied by clear signs of indigestion, it is recommended to use medications such as compound lactase capsules or Clostridium butyricum powder under medical supervision to improve the condition.
