Question
My newborn often experiences gas, what should I do? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment?
Answer
For newborn gas issues, parents can try gently massaging the baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction, three times a day for about ten minutes, to alleviate discomfort. At the same time, consider giving probiotics to promote intestinal peristalsis. If these methods do not work, seek medical assistance immediately. If breastfeeding, the mother should review her diet and avoid consuming foods that may cause discomfort in the baby, such as corn or spicy cold noodles. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
