Patient's question:
Newborn intestinal inflation, intestinal wall expansionDoctor's answer:
Babies are more prone to gas than adults. If a baby eats or sucks too quickly, air may be inhaled into their stomach; if the nipple size of the bottle is not appropriate, air can also enter the baby's body through the gaps in the nipple; additionally, excessive crying can cause the baby to inhale air. Furthermore, when consuming milk or other foods, fermentation in the digestive tract due to the action of intestinal bacteria and other digestive enzymes produces a large amount of gas, all of which can contribute to bloating.
