The baby now has unexplained crying, unsteady sleep, easy to wake up, stomach rumbling, these symptoms are indeed the phenomenon of intestinal flatulence and colic, which will affect the baby's sleep, but will not affect the absorption of breast milk. This is a common intestinal discomfort in small babies, which gradually disappears after 4-6 months of age, and will not affect the growth and development of the baby, so parents do not have to worry. Parents can follow the following suggestions to relieve their child's intestinal discomfort.

1. Hold the baby face down on your forearm or lap and shake gently. Give a certain amount of pressure on the abdomen, and the baby will feel a little more comfortable 2 Gently massage the abdomen for the baby, and parents can rub the palms of their hands and massage them clockwise with the navel as the center. Increase the baby's gastrointestinal peristalsis, so that the child will be much more comfortable.

3. If the baby's belly is very swollen, flatulent severely, and the stomach is rumbling, it means that there is a problem of intestinal flatulence, and simethicone can be used to help the baby pass gas, feeding before each feeding, twice a day, 10 drops each time directly into the baby's mouth. Simethicone is safe and non-***, parents can rest assured to give it to their babies, it is recommended that the baby has flatulence, and simethicone can be stopped directly. After each feeding, burp your baby until he can burp up, which can effectively prevent him from spitting up.

The baby does not sleep well, then parents can use a small quilt to wrap the baby when the baby sleeps, and appropriately leave a gap between activities, so that the baby will feel like a state of curling up in the mother's belly, which will give the baby a certain sense of security. If the baby can urinate 6 diapers every day, it means that the feeding is sufficient, there is no need to add milk powder, breast milk is the most ideal food for the baby, which is incomparable to formula powder. If the feeding is insufficient, it is recommended that the baby within 6 months of age add moderate hydrolyzed milk powder, which is more conducive to the baby's digestion and absorption.

It is normal for a breastfed baby to have frequent and loose bowel movements.

Because colic is a very painful process, if the child cannot clearly express his physical discomfort, and the expression is very painful, and he will refuse to eat and cry, then it is likely to be intestinal colic, then if it is just flatulence, the child may only have some discomfort in the abdomen, which will not cause too serious a reaction; You can touch the baby's belly, so that the baby does not catch a cold again, let him drink more water, if it is very severe colic, or should go to a regular hospital for examination**.

Colic baby will feel stomach pain, will cry, how to coax will cry, and flatulence is the baby, it is possible because of food accumulation or inhalation of air, the stomach is swollen and does not want to eat, baby flatulence try to improve the child's diet structure, reduce the intake of food that is easy to produce gas, help the child massage the abdomen, accelerate the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, and use a hot towel to help the child warm the abdomen.

The discomfort of colic is more obvious than that of intestinal flatulence, which is manifested as paroxysmal pain, if it is caused by irregular diet and insufficient blood supply, flatulence is mainly the swelling of the right abdomen; Don't let your baby be hungry for too long before feeding, don't let your baby cry, soothe their emotions, and let your baby eat some probiotics.

Introduction: Most novice mothers and fathers are first-time parents, and their experience will be a little insufficient, and they can't make correct judgments about the baby's problems. Because the newborn baby's physique is relatively weak, the development of various organs is not very complete.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be various problems in the body. Parents don't have to worry too much, as long as they learn more about newborn babies in the later stage, they can better care for their babies. So the topic I want to share today is, how to distinguish colic and flatulence, and how to help your baby relieve these symptoms?

1. What is the difference between colic and flatulence?

Colic is also known as intestinal spasm, which is more serious than flatulence, and the most common symptom is that in addition to flatulence, it can also be accompanied by paroxysmal abdominal pain, which can cause the baby's abdomen to bulge. Flatulence, on the other hand, is a bulging abdomen that looks bulging on your baby's tummy but is very hard to the touch, and there will be rumbling gas when the doctor examines it. The cause of colic may be caused by too much gas in the baby's stomach, the most common cause may be the unstable regulatory function of the nervous system to gastrointestinal peristalsis, food allergies, eating cold food, eating breast milk or milk powder, the method is incorrect, eating too much air, or it may be that the lactose content in breast milk is high, resulting in excessive gas production.

Most of the flatulence is due to the baby's improper diet, cold, indigestion, constipation, etc. The phenomenon of flatulence may occur at any stage, but it will not last too long, and colic generally appears in the evening, in the middle of the night, and there is a fixed time point every day, each episode lasts about 1 2 hours, or it may be 3 hours.

2. How to help your baby relieve colic and gas?

When holding the child, you can choose to hold the baby by plane to relieve the discomfort caused by the baby's colic, or you can use a hot towel to compress the baby's abdomen, or let the baby eat some probiotics to improve the gastrointestinal flora and promote the baby's gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. In order to relieve flatulence, when feeding, the posture must be appropriate, after feeding the baby must be burped, so that the inhaled air can be discharged to the outside of the body, in addition to the appropriate massage of the child's abdomen, the palm of the hand rubbed on the baby's stomach for regular strokes, you can also learn some exhaust exercises, twice a day can effectively help the baby discharge excess waste gas in the body.

It can be distinguished by the symptoms, the symptoms of colic are the feeling of pain, the child will cry all the time, flatulence is the situation that the stomach will be distended, the baby will always fart, you need to feed the child to breastfeed, you can also use a hot water bottle on the stomach to relieve it.

The time of appearance is completely different, the symptoms are completely different, the expression is different when pooping, the state of poop is not the same, you must rub your child's stomach, give your child more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid catching a cold.

Through the child's reaction, colic is a painful feeling, and the child's abdomen will be particularly bulging, flatulence is particularly hard to the touch, it can be relieved by slapping the child, or you can give the child some probiotics.

How to relieve intestinal colic in babies who are more than a month old? I will teach you my baby's personal experience, my baby was also intestinal flatulence, colic, after drinking milk, the stomach bulged, howling and crying, no matter how coaxed, and then the belly bulged up such a big bag of table tennis balls, that's good, do the following things. Don't give your child too much to eat, it's definitely uncomfortable to be fed too much gas, you can eat less and less, don't shake the milk, so that there will be more and more foam in the milk, and the baby will have excess gas in the stomach after drinking, it is best to beat some air in the milk bottle before and after rubbing it with your fingers.

Hold the baby on the plane or let the baby crawl on your belly, so that the baby will be much better, I really can't at that time I will lie down and let the baby crawl on top of me so that she doesn't cry, and after a while she falls asleep, maybe crawling on my belly to warm up, or safe enough. Rubbing the abdomen for the baby, exhausting, although it is eaten or edema after use, but it has to be said that this action is the most effective, no matter who passes through this, you will find that as the baby's digestive system is enhanced every day, slowly not puffy, experience the baby firsthand, I hope it will help you. Lactose intolerant babies lack or do not have lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose, so babies can't fully digest the lactose in breast milk, causing diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, crying, vomiting, and other symptoms!

We can test the baby's stool to determine if the baby is lactose intolerant, and if the stool test is negative, reducing sugar is positive, and a low pH indicates lactose intolerance.

If there is lactose intolerance, we can do this: If the baby's bowel movements are not much, or the crying time is not long, the baby's growth and development is normal, you can temporarily do not need to deal with it, after five months of gradual addition of food, the reduction of milk intake will gradually ease. Lactose-free formula can be used first, and after the diarrhea has resolved or completely improved, gradually add the amount of breast milk to a balanced point, and then use this amount to support the mixture of breast milk and lactose-free formula.

We can choose another milk alternative: soy milk, which is made from milk powder with soybeans as the main raw material. Soy is lactose-free, and soy protein is the main protein that can also support the growth and development of infants.

Yogurt, yogurt is fermented milk powder, lactic acid bacteria will break down most of the lactose into lactic acid, reducing the symptoms of lactose intolerance, but yogurt needs to be refrigerated, and the baby needs to be heated before feeding. Pediatric massage can be used to help your baby recover gastrointestinal function quickly.

The main symptoms of infantile colic are crying, farting when crying, red face, white lips, tightness of the whole body, cold legs and clenched fists. And the crying time of colic will be very long, more than three days a week, more than three hours a day, until three months later, it will slowly disappear, basically every time I cry tired and fall asleep. After feeding, the baby must be burped, so that the inhaled air can be discharged to the body, in addition to the appropriate massage of the child's abdomen, the palm of the hand rubbed on the baby's belly for regular stroke, you can also learn some exhaust exercises, twice a day can effectively help the baby to discharge excess waste gas in the body.

If you want to distinguish between colic and flatulence, you should observe the baby's symptoms, for flatulent babies, it will generally show redness of the face, bent legs, and smelly farts, but for colic, there is generally less bowel movements; For such a situation, it is necessary to give the baby some hot water and do some abdominal massage movements.
