My baby stretches his body a lot while sleeping. Also his face becomes red sometimes. Further, strange sound also comes out from his mouth. What to do.

Question

Accepted Answer

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 removed 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 uprightf 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.
