Question
What to Do When a Baby’s Stomach Rumbles After Defecation?
Answer
If a baby’s stomach occasionally makes rumbling sounds after defecation, it may be due to indigestion. This is because a baby’s digestive system is not yet fully developed, leading to incomplete digestion of proteins in the food, which produces curdles, or undigested food particles. These curdles appear as yellow in the stool. If the baby’s diet and mood are normal, there is usually no need to worry. To help improve the baby’s digestion, consider giving the baby probiotics to regulate their gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, mothers should avoid eating overly greasy foods to reduce the appearance of curdles in the baby’s stool.
