Question

Babies often make a strong effort to stretch their waists, and this situation has persisted for some time. Parents are concerned about this, worrying that it might have serious consequences.

Answer

Hello, in the first few months after birth, due to the immature gastrointestinal function of babies, irregular intestinal peristalsis may occur, leading to the production of more gas, which may cause gastrointestinal bloating or intestinal colic. Therefore, babies may show discomfort, which is mostly a physiological phenomenon. Generally speaking, as the baby grows older, this situation will gradually disappear after three months and does not require special treatment.
