POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. If your 20-day-old baby is experiencing gastric issues, it’s important to address the problem gently and safely. Gastric discomfort in newborns can often be caused by gas buildup, which is quite common at this age due to the developing digestive system. One suggestion is to ensure that the baby is feeding properly, as swallowing air during breastfeeding or bottle-feeding can lead to gas. Try feeding your baby in a more upright position to minimize air intake, and after feeding, gently burp the baby to release any trapped air.
If the baby seems to have colic or excessive gas pain, gently massaging their tummy in a clockwise motion or using bicycle leg exercises can sometimes help relieve discomfort. Additionally, you can try offering smaller, more frequent feedings to avoid overloading the stomach. If you're breastfeeding, make sure you're eating a balanced diet, as certain foods can sometimes pass into breast milk and cause digestive discomfort.
In case the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues or to receive proper guidance on managing gastric problems.
