Question

Infant experiencing bloating and gastrointestinal distress with spitting up during breastfeeding. Previous treatment and results: No improvement after taking medicine. Desired help: What medication should be taken?

Answer

It is recommended to carefully check for zinc deficiency and the possibility of digestive issues. It might be worth trying oral gluconate zinc and Shamidai Oral Liquid. To ensure the child enjoys their food, it is also important to pay attention to the feeding method. Some children are picky eaters, and parents become anxious, sometimes using toys to attract their children during meals or allowing them to play while eating. Advice: Parents may be overly indulgent and not understand the appropriate feeding methods, which can directly lead to picky eating in children. It is important to provide a relatively quiet bowel environment for the child so that they can defecate easily and happily. Since the digestive system is affected by emotions, stress can lead to a decrease in appetite. Therefore, during the child’s defecation, adults should not speak loudly or laugh, nor should they distract the child with activities. The above suggestions are for the problem of “40-day-old infant experiencing bloating and gastrointestinal distress with spitting up during breastfeeding,” and I hope they will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
