Is it good or bad for newborns to pass gas frequently?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, although it is normal for babies to pass gas, if the baby passes gas frequently, it is indeed necessary to consider digestive issues, poor spleen and stomach function, which may lead to excessive intestinal gas production. In that case, it is recommended to massage the baby's abdomen. Gently rub the abdomen with the palm of your hand, starting from the navel and moving in a clockwise direction. Massage for 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, then massage for another 10 times, and repeat this process 3 times. Abdominal massage can promote the blood circulation of the gastrointestinal tract in the abdomen, increase intestinal peristalsis, not only help to relieve constipation but also improve the baby's appetite. Additionally, oral probiotics or digestive aids such as Jindashuangqi or infant spleen-strengthening powder can be given.
