Question
What causes newborn abdominal distension and vomiting?
Answer
Newborn abdominal distension and vomiting may be due to digestive tract malabsorption. Parents should be attentive to their baby’s dietary habits, avoid feeding the baby when it is crying, and regularly give the baby warm water to warm the stomach. Additionally, parents can massage their baby 2 to 3 times a day to promote digestion and ensure the baby’s abdomen is kept warm to prevent colds. It is recommended that parents take their baby to the hospital for a check-up to determine if there are any digestive tract abnormalities or other issues.
