Question
Why does a newborn always twist around before taking their afternoon nap, feeling uncomfortable, and what solutions are there?
Answer
When a newborn starts to twist around again, it might be due to discomfort in the belly, which could be caused by indigestion or abdominal cold. It could also be a result of giving products like Qinghuobao or milk companions that have cooling and detoxifying properties. Here are some suggestions:
- Avoid giving products like Qinghuobao or milk companions that may slow down intestinal peristalsis.
- If there is a thick tongue coating, it might indicate indigestion, and you can consider using products like Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus enzyme oral liquid, or pepsin hydrochloride oral solution to aid digestion.
- If you suspect abdominal cold, you can try using a warm compress to relieve the discomfort, such as placing warm ginger slices on the navel or using a baby abdomen patch.
