Question
Can butter treat baby gas?
Answer
Baby gas is usually caused by indigestion or improper breastfeeding posture. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that baby gas may be a symptom of weakened spleen and stomach, which can lead to stomach bloating, pain, hiccups, and reduced appetite. While butter itself is not directly used to treat gas, in this situation, it is suggested to use Xiangsha Liujun Wan for opsonize and it may yield certain effects. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and ensure that the baby is gently patted on the back for 3 to 5 minutes after feeding to aid digestion. It is recommended to drink more water and use Dinggui’er belly navel patches as an external treatment. Please closely monitor the baby’s symptom changes.
