How to judge whether the baby has flatulence? Many women will begin to pay great attention to their daily diet and behavior when they are pregnant, and the growth of their children also needs assistance and help from all sides. The health and development of children are very important. The following is a picture of how to judge whether the baby has flatulence.
How to judge whether the baby has flatulence Picture 1 The easiest way to judge whether the newborn has flatulence is to touch the baby's stomach. If the belly is bigger, like a ballooning balloon, then the newborn must be flatulent.
There are two main situations:
First: if the stomach is hard, like an inflatable ball, there may be pathological conditions. Usually, the baby may be accompanied by vomiting, loss of appetite and poor mental reaction, and needs to go to the hospital for treatment.
Second: It is normal for some babies to have a big belly, but their stomachs are soft, their mental reaction is good, their milk is normal, their urine and urine are normal, and no special treatment is needed.
How to massage neonatal flatulence?
When the newborn has flatulence, parents can help the baby to rub some stomachs. Pressing and kneading slowly helps to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve flatulence.
Wash your hands, then gently massage your baby's abdomen clockwise with the palm as the center. Massage for about 5 minutes each time. Your hands should be warm and moderate in strength, otherwise it may make the baby feel uncomfortable.
What should the newborn see a doctor for flatulence?
If the newborn baby has a hard stomach when he has flatulence, or is accompanied by vomiting or stomachache, parents should take the baby to see a doctor in time.
1, the baby has abdominal distension complicated with vomiting, poor appetite (half or less than usual), anemia, weight loss and even fever and diarrhea.
2, can not touch the stomach, touching the baby will hurt or cry.
3. Combined shortness of breath.
4, the abdomen can touch hard things such as lumps.
How to judge whether the baby has flatulence Picture 2 There are many reasons for flatulence, and the baby's food accumulation will show crying, which is not easy to coax. At this time, parents should learn how to judge whether the child is caused by flatulence. Because the baby's gastrointestinal digestive system is immature, flatulence is the most common and the biggest "culprit" causing flatulence.
To know whether the child has flatulence, we must first observe whether the child's stomach will be round and bulging, like an inflated balloon. Then the parents put their left hand on the baby's stomach through the baby's clothes, and the right hand tapped on the left hand, and they could hear the sound of banging, like drumming.
Second, look at the child's performance. If the baby is nursing, sleeping and moving well, it means it is normal and does not need special treatment. However, if there is something like spitting milk, listlessness and milky white, it is basically indigestion and flatulence in children. It is best to go to the hospital at this time, so as not to delay the baby's illness.
If the baby's stomach is uncomfortable, parents can give the baby an appropriate abdominal massage to promote the baby's intestinal peristalsis. For example, massage clockwise around the navel, with a little force, about 30 to 50 times each time, twice a day, can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote excretion and reduce abdominal distension.
When the baby has accumulated food and flatulence, parents should not be impatient. First, keep calm and calmly deal with it. Don't rush for success and cause unnecessary extra harm to your child. Because the baby's gastrointestinal development is incomplete, its function is weak. In daily nursing, pay attention to the law of diet. You can give your baby some children's stomach-invigorating and digestion-promoting tablets and hawthorn tablets to help your baby's gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote excretion.

1, leg lifting method: When the baby has flatulence, you can use the leg lifting method to help the baby relieve it. Let the baby lie on the bed first, then the parents gently lift the baby's legs and bend the baby's knees as close as possible to the abdomen, which can promote the discharge of gas in the intestine.
2, hot compress: wet the towel with warm water, wring out the water and apply it to the baby's abdomen. After the towel is cold, it can be soaked in warm water and then applied, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and accelerate gas excretion. Parents need to pay attention to the temperature of the towel and keep it at around 38 degrees.
3, pay attention to diet: If the baby is breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to her diet, do not eat sweet potatoes, soy products, dairy products, high-sugar, high-fat foods, to avoid affecting the baby's digestion. If the baby is eating milk powder, you can reduce the amount of milk powder when soaking milk, and let the baby drink more water at the same time.
4, snoring: wait a while after the baby eats milk to help the baby snoring. The method is simple. Hold the baby upright, let his head rest on his parents' shoulders, put his fingers together, his palms sunken, and then pat his back.
5, massage: let the baby lie flat on the bed, and then parents rub their palms and gently massage the baby's stomach clockwise, each massage for 5 minutes, massage three times a day. Pay attention to proper force, and don't rub your baby's abdomen.
6. Supplementing probiotics: Probiotics have good intestinal regulation function, such as the common little yellow box Mamiai, which can rebuild the normal anaerobic environment of the intestine, promote the growth of anaerobic bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the intestine, and enhance the intestinal function, thus improving the baby's flatulence problem.
Baby flatulence can only be relieved by parents' careful care. Mothers must breast-feed their babies on time and don't let them starve for too long. At the same time, we should pay attention to the feeding method, and don't let the baby cry while eating milk. When the baby flatulence, massage can promote intestinal peristalsis and eliminate gas. If the baby has severe flatulence and a hard stomach, the baby will cry when he touches his stomach, or he will have vomiting and asthma. This situation is very bad. Be sure to take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.
The treatment of baby's abdominal distension is related to the etiology, and the common situations are as follows:
1, physiological factors: 15 days, the baby's abdominal wall is thin, and the abdomen will swell after eating, which may not be abdominal distension but a normal abdominal state;
2, swallowing factors: swallowing a large amount of gas when the baby is breastfeeding may lead to bloating. You can change your baby's posture appropriately, standing or prone, and pat your back properly to help your baby's abdominal flatulence discharge and relieve the symptoms of abdominal flatulence;
3, feeding factors: if it is caused by excessive intake of breast milk or milk powder, the amount of milk should be appropriately reduced to reduce the baby's gastrointestinal burden and relieve abdominal distension symptoms;
4. Digestive tract diseases: When patients have gastrointestinal infection, intestinal obstruction, intussusception or necrotizing enteritis, there will be obvious abdominal flatulence symptoms accompanied by other manifestations, which need to be treated and handled as soon as possible.
Therefore, on day 15, the baby has abdominal distension, which may be a normal reaction after eating or a disease that should be treated symptomatically.
