Question
My baby is 100 days old, and now his belly is round and bloated, making gurgling sounds, but he’s not passing gas. It’s almost two days since he last had a bowel movement, with only a small amount of stool being passed twice in between. Today at noon, he cried out three times, and no matter how I try to comfort him, he can’t be soothed. What could be wrong with him? Is he in pain?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby may have an issue with abdominal distension, accompanied by crying and restlessness. It is advised that you take the baby to the hospital immediately for further examination, such as an abdominal ultrasound, to determine the cause of the abdominal pain and to receive treatment accordingly. Do not administer any medication to the baby yourself; follow the professional advice of the doctor. This is a suggestion for the question “My baby is 100 days old, and now his belly is round and bloated; it’s almost two days since he last had a bowel movement. What’s going on?” I hope this helps you, and wish your baby a quick recovery!
