Question
My baby has been experiencing abdominal bloating, having a bowel movement once or twice a day, or up to three times. I’m not sure what’s going on. He is drinking Beiyinmei formula milk. I’d like to know what could be the cause?
Answer
Based on your description of your baby’s condition, it may be due to insufficient spleen and stomach function or gas retention leading to indigestion. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. Consider pediatric acupuncture treatment as well, which can be effective for digestive system diseases. At home, you can gently massage your baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction, about a hundred times each time. Additionally, you can temporarily stop feeding the formula milk to observe if the situation improves.
