Question
「What should I do if my 20-day-old baby has a bloated stomach? Previous treatment and outcomes: The baby’s bloating has not improved, seeking help to resolve the issue of a 20-day-old baby’s bloated stomach.’
Answer
“If the baby is breastfed and often has gas, the mother should try to avoid consuming foods that may cause gas. If the baby’s gas improves after the mother adjusts her diet, she should temporarily avoid those gas-inducing foods. If the baby has gas after drinking formula milk, you can try switching to a different brand of formula. When switching formulas, opt for those that are free of lactose, soy-based, or hypoallergenic. Additionally, holding the baby upright and gently lifting the baby’s legs so that the knees come close to the abdomen can also have an indirect massaging effect on the stomach.”
