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:

  1. Avoid giving products like Qinghuobao or milk companions that may slow down intestinal peristalsis.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
