How to deal with a one-month-old baby who has been passing gas a lot at night recently?

Patient's question:

A full-moon baby, recently she has been passing gas a lot at night, making it impossible to sleep soundly. She wakes up every little while, twisting and turning, and as soon as she wakes up, she spits up. Everyone says spitting up is normal, but it happens constantly. No matter how long she has been eating, I think she isn't getting enough breast milk, so I feed her more frequently to encourage her to suck. I even give her formula when she seems extremely hungry. Is this related to it? She looks very uncomfortable, and I've given her probiotics too, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm very anxious. I hope you can provide some clarification.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, this situation is mainly due to the child being too young and their digestive system not being fully developed. Your feeding method may also contribute to the recurrence of digestive issues. It is recommended to avoid feeding the child too much air. You can take probiotics orally. Additionally, pay attention to the feeding posture during feeding and ensure to burp the child after feeding.
This is the advice for the question "Newborn baby, recently has a lot of gas at night." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
