What reason is child abdominal distension?

summary

There is a big difference between a baby and an adult. Sometimes a baby's stomach is bulging, but it's OK. Because he has to bear the same internal organs as an adult, but he doesn't develop the abdominal wall muscles well, so his abdomen will be more prominent. But another reason is that when the baby's stomach is flatulent, it will be very bulging, just because the abdominal wall muscles don't develop well, All the gas in the stomach can't be discharged, which leads to flatulence. So what's the reason for a child's bloating? Let's talk about it.

What reason is child abdominal distension?

(1) Swallowing too much air: when the baby is feeding with a bottle, if it sucks too quickly, it is easy to inhale too much air. When the size of the nipple hole of the bottle is not appropriate or the bottle body is tilted, the air will also be inhaled through the gap of the nipple, and the baby's excessive crying is also easy to cause flatulence.

(2) Dyspepsia: the accumulation of feces in the intestinal tract causes the proliferation of bad bacteria producing gas, or the indigestion and malabsorption caused by milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance, enteritis, etc., which is easy to produce a large amount of gas.

(3) Gastrointestinal peristalsis disorder: it is divided into simple functional "pseudo intestinal obstruction" and "congenital megaintestines" with real lack of ganglion in gastrointestinal tract. The severity of these problems varies from chronic constipation and abdominal distension to severe vomiting, which can be temporary or lifelong.

matters needing attention

After feeding, gently pat the baby's back to promote burping, so that the gas in the stomach is discharged from the esophagus; Some babies are very good at exhausting and can exhaust gas through anus; In addition, depending on the absorption of gastrointestinal wall, can also alleviate the phenomenon of abdominal distension.
