Possible Causes & Solutions:
1️⃣ Gas & Bloating – If he has excessive gas, try giving a gentle tummy massage, cycling his legs, or using gripe water (if advised by a doctor). Encourage burping after meals.
2️⃣ Constipation – If he has hard stools or difficulty passing motion, give fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, oats) and keep him hydrated with water and natural fruit juices.
3️⃣ Overeating – If he eats heavy or fast, his stomach may appear bloated. Encourage small, frequent meals.
4️⃣ Lactose Intolerance or Food Sensitivity – If bloating happens after milk or certain foods, check for food intolerances and adjust the diet accordingly.
5️⃣ Worm Infection – If he has bloating along with weight loss or itching around the anus, consult a doctor for deworming treatment.
When to See a Doctor? If the stomach is very tight, painful, or swollen for a long time. If he has vomiting, fever, severe constipation, or trouble eating. If he cries excessively or is uncomfortable.
Try gentle home remedies first, but if the issue persists, a pediatrician should evaluate the condition. Let me know if you need more details!
