How To Deal With Baby'S Flatulence: A Guide To Correct Feeding And Daily Care

At the beginning of the baby's growth, especially when the baby is two or three months old, the problem of flatulence often makes new parents feel anxious. Babies at this stage may face the challenge of flatulence, whether they are exclusively breastfed, powdered or even mixed. Especially for babies fed with milk powder or mixed feeding, the phenomenon of flatulence may be more significant because they are easy to swallow air during drinking milk. But please rest assured that through some meticulous care and correct feeding methods, we can effectively reduce the baby's flatulence.

First of all, it is very important to choose an anti flatulence bottle for your baby. This type of feeding bottle is usually equipped with a well-designed exhaust system, such as the exhaust hole on the nipple or the exhaust pipe in the feeding bottle, which can effectively discharge the excess gas in the feeding bottle and reduce the chance for the baby to swallow air. At the same time, it is also a knowledge to choose the right pacifier according to the baby's month age. Small month old babies should use pacifiers with small aperture and slow flow rate to ensure that babies can suck steadily and avoid flatulence caused by swallowing too fast.

When brewing milk powder, remember to avoid shaking the bottle forcefully to avoid excessive bubbles. It is a more gentle and effective method to gently rub the bottle with both hands to make the milk powder dissolve evenly in water. After the brewing is completed, it is advisable to stand still for a while to allow the bubbles to dissipate naturally, and then discharge the residual gas through the exhaust hole. When feeding, keep your baby's head high and buttocks low to help reduce the risk of vomiting. Choose a comfortable sitting position, stably support the baby's head with one arm, let the baby naturally find and hold the pacifier, and avoid discomfort and air inhalation caused by forced insertion.

At the beginning of feeding, the inclination angle of the bottle should be controlled between 30-45 degrees to ensure that the nipple is always full of milk and reduce the chance of air entering. As the baby sucks, adjust the angle of the feeding bottle in time to keep the milk in the nipple full. After feeding, do not rush to let the baby lie down or tease, but continue to keep his head high and feet low, giving him enough time to swallow the milk completely. Then, carry out burping operation, gently pat the baby's back to help expel the air in the stomach and reduce the possibility of flatulence and vomiting.

In addition to nursing precautions, daily care and prevention are equally important. When the baby is awake, do more exhaust exercises to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help expel excess gas from the body. Let your baby lie down more, which can also effectively relieve the discomfort caused by flatulence. In addition, regular observation of the baby's defecation to ensure the normal operation of the digestive system is also an important part of preventing flatulence.

In a word, parents need not worry too much about the flatulence problem of their babies who are two or three months old. They only need to master the correct feeding methods and daily nursing skills to effectively reduce the flatulence problem of their babies and let them grow healthily and happily. Remember, patience and carefulness are the requirements of every novice parent.
