Patient's question:
How to determine if a newborn baby's stomach is bloated after 20 days? It feels a bit hard and a bit soft, is this normal? Everything was fine before, but today they've started not napping during the day. They usually sleep very soundly during the day and can't be woken up, but today I don't know what's wrong? They keep eating milk, and it's fine when they eat it, but they cry if they're not allowed to. Breast milk is fed occasionally, and formula is given twice. When formula is given, there are curds in the stool. In the afternoon, they had a slightly runny bowel movement, and from last night to this morning, their bowel movements were normal.Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,According to the situation you described, it is possible that the baby is not getting enough breast milk, which may have led to this issue. It is recommended to pay close attention to ensuring the baby is well-fed. If the abdomen feels soft when gently pressed, it means there is no bloating. Paying attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm is sufficient.
