Question

My 3-month-old baby has indigestion, and his stomach always makes rumbling sounds, which are affecting his deep sleep. What should I do? He is breastfed, and previously had good sleep quality at night, waking up once and needing just one side of the breast to fall asleep. However, recently, he wakes up every one or two hours, cries, and wants to be fed.

Answer

Based on your description, this may be due to the baby’s lack of dietary routine caused by poor lifestyle habits, or possibly related to disharmony in the spleen and stomach, as well as decreased appetite. It is recommended that you cultivate good dietary habits for the baby and help establish a correct dietary concept. You can give him some Similac Vita-Lac or Lysine Methyl Ether Oral Solution to improve his appetite, while also paying attention to a reasonable combination of coarse and fine grains. You can also give him some traditional Chinese medicine, such as Wensui Kaipai Granules. Usually, this is sufficient. I hope your child stays healthy. The above is a suggestion for the question “What should I do about my 3-month-old baby’s indigestion and stomach rumbles affecting sleep?” I hope it helps you, and wish your child good health!
