POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy9 months agoA. It's quite common for a one-month-old baby like Ethan to have a slightly distended or rounded tummy, especially after feedings, because their digestive system is still developing. Babies at this age have small stomachs, and they tend to fill up quickly. Here's some insight into whether this is normal or something to be concerned about:
1. Normal Appearance: A slightly distended tummy after feeding can be normal as babies often have a rounded belly due to the milk they consume. Their digestive systems are still immature, so gas and digestion can also cause some bloating.
2. Signs to Watch For:
If your baby seems fussy, uncomfortable, or gassy after feedings, this could be related to digestion, and tummy distention may be temporary.
If the tummy appears excessively bloated, feels hard, or is consistently enlarged, this could be a sign of gas, constipation, or in rare cases, other underlying issues.
3. Check for Other Symptoms: Along with a distended tummy, look for other signs like vomiting, difficulty feeding, or a change in stool patterns (e.g., if your baby is constipated or having diarrhea).
If you're unsure or worried about Ethan's tummy size, it’s always a good idea to check with your pediatrician to rule out any concerns. They can examine him and provide reassurance or recommend further steps if needed.
