Many attentive mothers find that their babies' stomachs are always bulging and grunting from time to time. It's weird! Is it because the stomach and intestines are not digesting well?
Parents should know that the human body's intestinal peristalsis produces a certain sound, called bowel sounds. Under normal circumstances, both adults and infants will have bowel sounds. If the baby's feeding, spirit, sleep, etc. are good, but you hear the baby's stomach grunting, then the mother does not have to worry too much, this is mostly a normal phenomenon. If the baby's stomach is always barking, there are often stomach discomfort, indigestion, etc., and even affect the baby's growth and development, you should go to the hospital to do relevant diagnosis and treatment, because it may be caused by other reasons.
Your baby's gastrointestinal development is not perfect, and when there is too much gas accumulated in the intestine, it will feel uncomfortable. Flatulence can also easily induce "infantile colic". Pain caused by rapid intestinal peristalsis in infants, strong contractions of smooth muscles of the intestinal wall, or flatulence involving nerves, is one of the acute abdominal pain in children, most babies begin to appear 2-3 weeks after birth, can gradually improve after 3-4 months, and occur more often at night.
There may also be flatulence: it is because the baby's gastrointestinal development is immature, resulting in uncoordinated intestinal peristalsis at various stages, and the food residue and gas in the intestine cannot be transported well, causing intestinal flatulence. Babies generally appear to have occasional small flushing, body twisting, and occasionally jumping out of a fart or two. Certain solid foods can also cause hiccups and bloating. For example, the baby's complementary food is added with corn soup, chestnut puree, vegetables, etc. containing fiber that can cause flatulence. The food that the mother eats is flatulent in the mother's intestines, and the mother farts, which has nothing to do with the baby who eats breast milk
It is normal for most babies to have a slightly bloated stomach and a constant ringing in their stomachs. However, what needs to be vigilant is that if the baby is crying and crying, it is difficult to alleviate it no matter what, it is best to take the baby to the hospital and carry out scientific treatment according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, we must pay attention to: the baby's belly is uncomfortable, and you must not blindly rub the baby's stomach! Don't listen to folk remedies and hurt your child by mistake!
