Patient's question:
There is a newborn, but the newborn has bloating, what should be done? What is the cause? Does it need to be treated in the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Identifying the culprit causing your little one's abdominal discomfort is best achieved by: removing one food from the baby's diet for a few days at a time, observing the baby's reaction, and then gradually reintroducing the food. When babies are young, their bellies often swell up after eating and return to normal when they are hungry. It's important to be cautious and clear—if it is indeed the case, it's recommended to warm the abdomen with a hot water bag and take oral probiotics to regulate the intestines. Generally, babies with bloating tend to spit up more, have decreased appetite, and pass gas more frequently.
