Question
My baby frequently farts at night and has a slightly bloated belly. Could there be something serious wrong?
Answer
Infant abdominal distension is mainly caused by indigestion, with an unbalanced diet structure being the primary reason. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, increase the intake of high-quality proteins, and spend more time outdoors to promote intestinal peristalsis. Avoid picky eating, snacking on cold drinks and beverages. Consider taking probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora, but the key is still to adjust the diet structure. Medication treatment is only an auxiliary method, and severe abdominal distension requires a doctor’s examination with abdominal ultrasound.
