Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, my baby is 9 months premature. He gets bloated after feeding. If he eats 5 milliliters, he immediately gets severe abdominal gas. X-rays and blood tests were normal. What could be the reason, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is due to the reason of premature birth, which leads to indigestion. It may be because the child is too young and lacks enough stomach motility, meaning slow stomach peristalsis. It is recommended to use one finger to massage the child's abdomen in a clockwise direction during daily care. This can promote the peristalsis of the child's gastrointestinal tract. Perform 1~2 times a day, and make sure to apply gentle pressure while massaging. The milk should also be diluted, not too concentrated.
