What to do for a baby's bloated stomach: Quick relief methods

When a baby has bloated stomach due to gas, parents can try the following solutions:

1. Adjust feeding: Ensure a moderate feeding pace to prevent the baby from swallowing air too quickly. After feeding, hold the baby upright and gently pat their back to help release excess gas.

2. Abdominal massage: Use warm hands to gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal movement and facilitate gas release.

3. Warm compress: Apply a warm towel or hot water bottle (temperature controlled between 38–40°C) to the baby’s abdomen for 10–15 minutes per session, which helps relieve gas discomfort.

4. Avoid gas-producing foods: For babies who have started solid foods, avoid feeding foods that easily produce gas, such as soy products and radishes.

5. Medication: If gas symptoms are severe, medications such as probiotics may be used under a doctor’s guidance to improve the condition.
