How can parents help with flatulence?

1. Don't forget to burp after feeding. It is best to hold the burp for 5-10 minutes after feeding, so that the baby can expel the excess air inhaled during the ** period in the form of burps.

2. Abdominal massage. When your baby is crying because of intestinal flatulence, Mom and Dad can gently massage his tummy in a clockwise direction. On the one hand, it can relieve bloating, and on the other hand, the baby will also be distracted because it is comfortable.

3. Airplane hug. Holding the baby in an airplane position can help the baby to expel gas from the body. It should be noted that it is best not to hold the baby when he has just finished feeding, which is easy to cause the baby to spit up.

Fourth, play on your stomach. When babies play on their parents' chests and have a direct physical conversation with their parents, the baby's body and mind are the most relaxed. Some parents find that their babies are more stable when sleeping on their stomachs, which may be related to the fact that the sleeping position relieves abdominal discomfort. However, sleeping on the stomach is not recommended for babies who cannot roll over, as this increases the risk of sudden death from asphyxiation. A more appropriate way is to let the baby play on his stomach when he is awake, and try to sleep on his back when sleeping.

5. Exhaust exercise. Infant exhaust exercises can quickly and effectively solve intestinal problems such as flatulence, belly accumulation, and indigestion. There are a lot of exhaust exercises on the Internet**, and moms and dads can do it accordingly.

Sixth, the comfort of Mom and Dad. Hold your baby when he's crying, give him a sense of security, white noise. Bao Bao Mom and Dad whispered gently in the baby's ear"Shhh"Helping crying babies calm down are all ways to relieve the discomfort caused by flatulence and colic.

7. Supplement probiotics. Probiotic supplementation mainly helps improve intestinal flatulence in infants by improving the structure of intestinal flora, promoting food digestion and nutrient absorption, and reducing intestinal inflammation. The choice of probiotics should be directed by your doctor.
