Patient's question:
My son is just two months old and has been experiencing frequent abdominal bloating and gas. He has a lot of liquid in his bowel movements, doesn't pass gas, gets startled, and spits up milk. We had blood tests done, and the results showed red blood cells at 3.99, hemoglobin at 114, lymphocytes at 9.1, and more.Doctor's answer:
Children spitting up milk and having bloated bellies are generally due to underdeveloped gastrointestinal digestive function, which is functional indigestion. This phenomenon is quite common and doesn't need to be overly worrying. Once the gut microbiota becomes balanced, improvement will follow.1. You can give a little Mamiaoi with lukewarm water (not exceeding 40°C) to the child to adjust the gut microbiota.
2. When feeding, first give a little lukewarm water, then breastfeed. While breastfeeding, lift the baby's head and shoulders slightly. The amount of milk per feeding can be reduced, and feed every two hours. After breastfeeding, hold the child upright, gently pat their back to help them burp and expel air from their stomach.
3. You can massage the child's abdomen in a counterclockwise direction, which helps to strengthen the spleen and stomach.
4. If these symptoms persist or worsen over time, it is recommended to seek specialized medical examination to rule out vomiting caused by disease.
