Since newborn babies can not tell themselves what bothers them, new parents have to be extremely careful not to miss some symptoms and not start theoretical illnesses. One of such causes for anxiety is the bubbling in the abdomen of the baby. Let's consider, with what such behavior of an organism can be connected.
What are the causes of bubbling in the tummy?
If the baby is boiling in the stomach, we can assume that there was excess air. Most often, babies swallow air when they are not properly applied to the chest or when they are hungry, if the child is very hungry. Also, the situation where the rumbling in the abdomen of a newborn can be triggered by the formation of gazik in the intestine itself. And there may be several reasons for this:
- feeding the nursing mother with unsuitable products, for example, whole milk or legumes, which increase the gas formation in the baby;
- lack of fluid in the body, as a result of which food is not digested normally, and the processes of putrefaction and fermentation are launched;
- another reason why the stomach rumbles in the newborn - dysbiosis, a violation of the composition of the intestinal microflora;
- the cause may be and lactase deficiency - the inability to absorb milk due to the lack of a certain enzyme.
How to help a newborn?
There are a number of measures that can be taken when a newborn is seething with a tummy. It is important to relieve the intestines from existing gazikas and reduce the likelihood of new ones. You can get rid of:
- use a gas pipe;
- massage the tummy of the newborn in a circular motion clockwise;
- Put the baby on his stomach, so that he massaged naturally and got rid of the guns (you can not do this after eating);
- do the exercise, pressing the legs of the baby to the tummy.
Prevention of bubbling in the tummy is the following:
- make sure that the grip of the nipple during breastfeeding is correct;
- In the case of artificial or mixed feeding, use special anti-coil bottles ;
- Keep the child upright for a while after eating, so that he can regurgitate and get rid of the air that has swallowed;
- use special drugs that reduce the formation of gases and facilitate the process of their removal from the body;
- maintain the room air temperature to 22 ° C and humidity in the area of 60-70%, if it is not possible, dopaivat newborn water;
- strangely enough, just wait until the baby has formed the digestive organs to the end.
It is important to understand that if a newborn is not just boiling in the abdomen, but also a general condition that is accompanied by anxiety, moods, crying, frequent stools, changes in color and smell, then this is an occasion for immediate medical attention.
