Question
Babies often turn red in the face when passing gas. What could be the cause? Parents have already checked it out, but they still hope to receive professional medical advice.
Answer
It is recommended that parents take their baby to the hospital for a detailed examination to find the appropriate treatment method. In the meantime, gently massaging the baby’s belly can help relieve discomfort. Additionally, if the baby sweats excessively after eating, it may be related to the environmental temperature or too close contact with the mother, or it could be due to excessive forceful suckling. It is advised to adjust the distance between the baby and the mother and appropriately adjust clothing to avoid overwrapping. Feeding should follow the principle of small and frequent meals to reduce the baby’s gastrointestinal burden.
