Question
The baby is now 33 days old. The baby had a poor appetite when it was born, and around 10 days after discharge, the abdomen became distended, with visible veins. Currently, the baby is mainly breastfed, and the color, frequency, and flatulence of stool are normal, with occasional vomiting. What should I do?
Answer
Give the baby some infant digestive powder, drink more warm water, eat smaller meals more frequently, which can help with digestion. At the same time, you can massage the baby’s abdomen. Pay attention to symptoms of feeding intolerance or neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis. It is recommended to improve feeding assistance measures to confirm the presence of any diseases before further treatment. Consider dyspepsia as a possible cause, and it is best to consult a pediatrician for examination. The doctor may prescribe some digestive tablets or probiotic treatment for the child and ensure the baby’s abdomen is kept warm. It is best to go to the hospital to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
