What is the reason for the heavy breathing sound of newborns with indigestion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, it's been half a month since my baby was born. Since the fifth day, he has been experiencing some abdominal pain, bloating, poor digestion, and passing curd-like stools, as well as hiccups. What should I do? Also, when the baby is feeding, his breathing sounds very heavy and rapid—is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Considering indigestion may cause discomfort, if breastfeeding, the diet of the nursing mother should avoid excessive greasy foods and extremely cold, spicy foods. It is recommended to take probiotics such as bifidobacteria under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the intestinal flora. Also, be mindful of preventing colds and chills, and ensure the child's clothing is appropriately adjusted. Regular check-ups for the child can be scheduled to monitor their overall development.
