Patient's question:
1-month-old baby, stomach bloating, wakes up once at night for 50 minutes, difficulty passing gas, does 3 gas-release exercises per day, currently taking probiotics. What can help the baby pass gas? This symptom has lasted for about 4 days. Previously, the baby slept well at night and naps, eating once every 4 hours, exclusively breastfed.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it seems that the baby is prone to experiencing prolonged intestinal colic during this period, which is a normal phenomenon. In this case, you can apply cold compresses to the baby's abdomen and then gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction. This can help the gas in the intestines to be expelled. As the baby's intestines gradually grow and develop, this condition will gradually improve.
