What can I do if my baby has been experiencing frequent gas in their stomach these past few days?

Patient's question:

My baby is 113 days old. These last couple of days, there has been a lot of gas in his stomach, and he keeps passing very smelly gas. He also spits up milk. He only has a bowel movement every two or three days. Is that normal? He never used to do this. I want to regulate his digestion.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, considering the symptoms of indigestion and gastrointestinal dysfunction in the baby, it is recommended to give the baby oral probiotics or medication to regulate the stomach and intestines. This solution should be carefully observed for a few days. At the same time, abdominal massage can be performed, focusing on the navel area. Massage in a clockwise direction, for 5 to 10 minutes each time, with a force that is comfortable for the baby. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.
