How to deal with severe gas in a 9-month-old baby

Patient's question:

The baby is 9 months old and has severe gas, thick tongue coating. Oral probiotics relieved it for 2 weeks, but it returned after stopping the medication. The baby frequently wakes up at night due to difficulty passing gas, often scratching their ears. They have inguinal hernia, but it has mostly recovered.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, your baby's bowel movements may be affected by your breast milk. Pay attention to a balanced diet for the nursing mother, eat appropriately, and reduce fried and junk foods. Maintain a regular diet, drink less cold beverages, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
When breastfeeding, pay attention to hygiene and keep the nipple clean. Ensure hand hygiene after changing your baby's diapers. You can take a dose of triple live lactobacillus granules, twice a day, 30 minutes after breastfeeding, with warm water.
