In the eyes of adults, the baby is really the embodiment of "cute", with a cute expression, coupled with round and rolling limbs, how can adults not love?
In the body structure of small babies, many mothers have found that the baby's stomach is always "bulging", even when they are not eating, their stomach is still large, like a "little frog".
The bulging belly on the adult will definitely have a feeling of discomfort, but the adults do not see that the baby is uncomfortable, and some mothers can't feel the situation.
The baby's belly "bulges" like a small frog, what is going on?
Xiaoxue has recently been upgraded to become a mother, and for the child, she will carefully observe every day to see what changes the baby has. In the past two days, she found that the baby's belly was like a "balloon" and had been "bulging".
At first, Xiaoxue thought that the child ate too much and bloated like an adult, but later found that this was not the case, even before the baby did not feed, the stomach was bulging like a small frog.
Xiaoxue was worried about whether there was a problem with the baby's body, but there was no discomfort in watching the baby, so she did not understand such a situation.
It is normal for babies to have "frog belly" and it is not necessary for mothers to worry
It is normal for a baby's belly to be large, and in general, it is neither "bloating" nor any disease, but because of the physiological characteristics of the child.
"Frog belly" is a characteristic of the child's growth process, it is because the abdominal muscles are not fully developed, the abdominal muscles do not have enough strength to bear the weight of the organs, so it will lead to the lower abdomen is more prominent, it will make the baby's belly look bulging.
Most of the baby's breathing is based on "abdominal breathing", but the digestive tract produces a lot of gas, so the stomach will cause a "physiological" bulge because of the gas, which looks like a bulging "frog belly".
Under normal circumstances, after the baby is full, the situation of "frog belly" will be particularly obvious, and the swelling will be larger, but when the bowel movement is over, the stomach will disappear a part;
Unlike adults, the abdominal capacity of small babies is very small, the abdominal muscles can not withstand the weight of internal organs, and those internal organs that have not yet developed are crowded in the abdominal cavity, which will cause the abdomen to be more prominent, and the stomach will look bulging.
However, as the baby ages, the "frog belly" will slowly become flat, and the baby's belly will become the same as we adults. However, many mothers are still worried about whether the baby's stomach is bulging and whether there is a problem with their own feeding.
At this time, the mother can touch the baby's belly in the baby's calm state, if the stomach is soft to the touch, then it means that it is normal; but if it is hard and hard, and the baby is still crying, then we have to consider whether the baby is flatulent.
The baby's "big belly" may also be because of flatulence, a few simple ways to say goodbye to the "frog belly"
If the baby's belly is bulging, there is a "banging" sound in the stomach, and the baby will also blush, kick the legs, cry, spit up, fart and other reactions, then parents should consider whether the baby is flatulence.
Whether the baby is breastfeeding, or drinking milk powder, it is more likely to suck too quickly, or the baby cries excessively when feeding, which will cause food in the digestive tract at this time, usually fermented with intestinal bacteria and other digestive enzymes to produce a large amount of gas, and then cause the baby to flatulence.
For flatulent babies, when feeding, the mother should pay special attention to feeding on time, do not wait for the baby to be hungry for too long or cry when the baby is fed; after feeding, you can finally pat the back to promote the baby's exhaustion; In addition, it is also important to choose a pacifier of the right size.
The baby's "frog belly" actually exists from the moment of birth
Many mothers find that the baby has a "frog belly", all in the follow-up parenting process, in fact, at the moment when the baby comes out of the mother's belly, the careful mother will find that the newborn's stomach is in the form of "drumming".
And the current child's belly is obviously larger than the past child's belly, mainly because the current pregnant mother is afraid of losing the child during pregnancy, always worried about nutrition can not keep up, do not consider weight loss, will eat several times higher than usual calories.
This directly leads to many newborn babies being overweight, of course, the newborn baby's abdomen will also store a lot of fat, and there will be a "frog belly" situation.
In addition, the newborn baby's body is rounded before and after, not like adults, which is "flat", which naturally makes the baby's small belly look swollen and appear slightly "frog-like abdomen".
Tuanzi Mama wants to say:
The baby's belly looks bulging, many mothers will suspect that the small belly is filled with something, in fact, the baby is the same as us, the stomach "internal organs" are complete, parents as long as it is in the process of feeding to avoid the baby's flatulence, "frog belly" is still very cute.
