Flatulence in babies is the main cause of restlessness and fussiness in babies. Because babies have not been able to expel gas that should be expelled through farts and burps, as a result, gas is prone to being trapped in the stomach and causing flatulence. Therefore, it is important for every parent to recognize the signs of a baby having flatulence and how to deal with it.
Quoted from Alodokter.com, flatulence in babies is often accompanied by symptoms or signs, such as:
- Stomach feels a bit hard when held
- Often squirms and arches his back
- Often raises both legs to the chest or kicks
- Frequent farts
- Hard to sleep
There are several ways that can be done if the baby has flatulence, including:
1. Baby’s leg movements are like cycling
Place the baby on the bed in a supine position. Lift both legs and move as if you were riding a bicycle.
2. Wipe baby’s back
Place the baby on the bed in a prone position. Next, gently rub his back.
3. Massaging baby’s belly
