Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. gas ke vajah se
the recurrent stretching / curving of the body again and again as well as uncomfort / making grunting sounds as well as hiccups as well as colic pain all are due to gas in the intestine and stomach.
it is very important that after giving milk to the child you
should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes(irrespective that you hear the burps or not). gas in stomach causes hiccups.
do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because one time burping will not remove all the gas and if the gas is not removed properly it goes into intestine causing abnormal distension and that will lead to colic pain again and again.
keep the child in upright position whether you hear the burping sound or not and also it is not important that you will hear the sound when the child removes the air from the oral cavity.
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Caring for a four-month-old who seems to be in distress due to gas and other discomforts can be challenging. It's important to address the root causes of your baby's discomfort and provide relief as effectively as possible. Here are some strategies to help manage these issues:
### Addressing Gas Problems
1. **Burping**:
- Make sure to burp your baby thoroughly after feedings to help release trapped air. Burp your baby by holding them upright against your chest or by sitting them on your lap and gently patting their back.
2. **Feeding Techniques**:
- Ensure your baby is latching properly during breastfeeding to prevent swallowing air.
- If bottle-feeding, consider using bottles designed to reduce air intake.
3. **Tummy Time**:
- Provide supervised tummy time to help your baby expel gas. Place your baby on their tummy for short periods while they are awake and alert.
4. **Bicycle Legs**:
- Lay your baby on their back and gently move their legs in a bicycling motion to help release gas.
5. **Gas Relief Drops**:
- Over-the-counter gas relief drops (simethicone) can sometimes help. Consult your pediatrician before using any medication.
### Soothing Techniques
1. **Swaddling**:
- Swaddle your baby in a light blanket to help them feel secure and calm.
2. **Comforting Sounds**:
- Use white noise machines or gentle music to soothe your baby. The rhythmic sounds can be calming.
3. **Rocking and Holding**:
- Hold and gently rock your baby to provide comfort. Sometimes the motion and closeness can help soothe them.
