1, the abdominal muscles are not perfect. Because when the baby was born, every human organ of the body was not fully developed, at this time, the baby's abdominal muscles were still very lacking, and it was difficult to bear the abdominal pressure produced by various human internal organs in the abdomen, which was very prone to gastrointestinal harm. So the baby's abdomen looks bloated, much bigger than adults.
And because the newborn baby's body is round, it will not show a flat shape like an adult, so it will make the baby's abdomen look very bulging. Parents don't have to worry too much. When the baby is older and the abdominal muscles grow and develop well, they will recover.
2, inhaling too much gas, in addition to the congenital reasons for the baby's underdeveloped muscles when he was born, there is also a part caused by the unreasonable feeding methods of parents. For example, some novice mothers are not in the right posture to feed their babies, so that babies will inhale a lot of gas if they suck too hard.
Or the nipple used by the baby is not the right size, and the baby will feed when he is hungry. It will also make the baby suck too fast when drinking milk, and then inhale a lot of gas. These conditions may make the baby feel bloated because of inhaling a lot of gas, so the abdomen will look very bulging. When mother Bao is breastfeeding her baby, she should pay attention to let the baby contain most of the breasts as much as possible, and the nipple should be filled with breast milk. It is best not to let the baby inhale gas.
3, indigestion Some newborn babies will be allergic to skin conditions such as milk protein, or the internal organs of the body are sensitive, which is very easy to cause indigestion, and it is also easy to cause a lot of steam, which will cause serious constipation in the baby. At this time, the baby's abdomen will not only swell, but also feel a little hard. If this happens, then the baby has a cold or abdominal indigestion. Pay attention to keep the baby's abdominal cavity warm.
How to judge whether the baby is swollen? 1, if you want to judge whether the baby is bloated, the effective method is to touch the baby's lower abdomen with your hands. If you feel soft and there is no hard situation, then there is no flatulence. If the abdomen feels a little hard, it is probably flatulence.
2. It can also be distinguished according to the presentation of the baby. If the baby's diet and sleep quality are normal, it means that the baby is physically and mentally healthy. If the baby doesn't want to drink milk, crying and vomiting, it may be that the baby is not feeling well, and it is likely that the abdominal distension is more serious. According to the baby's condition, mother Bao should take the baby to see a doctor at once.
How to prevent the baby from swelling? 1. When mother Bao is nursing her baby, be careful not to let the baby have a gap with the front of the bottle mouth to prevent the baby from inhaling gas.
2, if the baby is hungry for a long time, it is very easy to be anxious in the process of drinking milk, so it will inhale too much gas to cause flatulence and milk overflow, so mother Bao remembers to feed the baby immediately, and don't let the baby cry too much.
