What to Do When a Newborn Baby Has Stomach Pain?

Answer

A newborn may exhibit crying and fussing before a bowel movement, with undigested milk present in the stool, which might suggest poor function of the digestive system. To alleviate symptoms, gently massage the baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction and consider giving appropriate medication, such as Shen Ling Bai Zhu San or probiotics. Moreover, take care to keep the baby’s abdomen warm and consider adjusting feeding habits to promote digestion and absorption. Hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish the baby a swift recovery.
