Patient's question:
Newborn intestinal inflation, intestinal wall expansionDoctor's answer:
Babies are more prone to gas than adults. If a baby eats or sucks too quickly, air may be inhaled into their stomach. Inappropriate nipple size on a bottle can also allow air to enter the baby's body through gaps in the nipple. Additionally, excessive crying can cause a baby to swallow air. Furthermore, the fermentation of milk or other foods in the digestive tract due to the action of intestinal bacteria and other digestive enzymes produces a large amount of gas, which can lead to bloating.
