A newborn baby is very weak and needs careful care from his parents to grow up healthily. However, when parents take care of their babies, they always encounter various problems of feeding their babies, such as bloating, vomiting, intestinal colic, etc., which always leads to the baby crying and parents also feel physically and mentally exhausted.
In fact, this happens often to most babies. Babies often cry because of bloating, causing poor appetite, difficulty in defecation, and discomfort in their stomachs. To solve the baby's bloating phenomenon, parents should understand the reason for the baby's belly bloating and how to prevent it.
What are the reasons why the baby has bloating?
1. The baby inhales air while sucking and swallowing.
2. Parents do not burp in time after feeding their baby, which will lead to vomiting and overflowing of milk, but also easily lead to bloating in the baby.
3. Feeding in the correct breastfeeding posture should be used to reduce the amount of air inhalation during the baby's sucking process and reduce the air entering the body.
4. Because the baby's intestinal system is immature, the lactose in breast milk is not completely absorbed and digested in the baby's intestines, and fermentation produces acid and gas, causing bloating.
5, Mothers in during breastfeeding consume too much food that is prone to gas, and babies will also experience bloating after eating breast milk.
Many mothers are banned during pregnancy, but after the baby is born, they immediately start to eat and drink. In fact, many common foods in life will cause the baby to bloat. Mothers during breastfeeding should pay more attention.
So, what foods can easily cause the baby to bloat during breastfeeding?
1. Foods rich in starch and sugars, such as high starch, can easily cause bloating during digestion. Such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, taro, pumpkin, etc., these foods can easily cause bloating during digestion. Mothers who are breastfeeding should eat as little as possible.
2. Soy products are particularly prone to bloating. There are several anti-nutritional factors in soy products (including tofu, soy milk, tofu brain, etc.), two of which are related to the gastrointestinal tract, and gas will be decomposed from the gastrointestinal tract during digestion. 2. Foods of soy products, such as soy milk, tofu, dried tofu, etc., these foods contain anti-nutritional factors related to the gastrointestinal tract, and gas will be produced during the digestion process. Although beans such as soybeans and peas are rich in protein, they also contain fiber and sugar that the human body cannot absorb, which can easily cause bloating. If the baby is already bloated, mothers must try to avoid these foods. It is best to pair them with easy-to-digestible rice or whole grains when they want to eat them.
3. Vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower contain a compound sugar called trisaccharide, which is difficult to absorb by the human body and is prone to gas causing bloating.
4. Lactating mothers should eat less sweets. Eating too many sweets will increase the sugar in breast milk. Too much sugar fermentes in the baby's belly, which is also the reason why the baby has bloating. And eating too much sweets is not good for mothers.
5. Lactating mothers should pay attention to avoid greasy and spicy foods as much as possible. This type of food will emit a large amount of gas during digestion, causing the baby to develop bloating.
6. Mothers should also avoid eating raw and cold foods during breastfeeding, such as watermelons, cold drinks, etc., as well as foods that are prone to allergies in the baby, such as pineapple, mango, etc., and should also eat less or not. Other foods that can be eaten with loofah, lettuce, papaya and other milk.
