Question

My baby has been having stomach bloating for the past two days. He is 113 days old, and his stomach has been bloated, with frequent flatulence that is particularly smelly, and he also throws up milk. He usually has a bowel movement every two to three days. Is this normal? He hasn’t had this problem before, and I want to improve his digestion.

Answer

Based on your description, it is suspected that your baby may have dyspepsia and possible gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended that you give your baby probiotics or related medication to help improve gastrointestinal digestion. At the same time, you can try abdominal massage, centered around the navel, in a clockwise direction, for 5 to 10 minutes each time, with the pressure adjusted to what the baby feels comfortable with. If the situation does not improve, it is suggested to bring your baby to the hospital for further examination.
