Hello doctors, my 14-month year old has a bloated tummy, but I don t think he s in pain. I believe it s from sucking his organic homo cow s milk from the bottle with the nipple. I catch him many times just suking air because he s not tilting it up. I ve tried changing bottles to ones with a straw instead, but he prefers nipples now. Question #1. any tips on how to make him change bottles? Questions #2. Besides changing bottles, what can I do now to deflate his tummy? Thank you in advance!
Hi.... You are right. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast or nipple of bottle very fast and in eagerness to Chat Doctor.  Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there - 1. Best is to stop the bottle abruptly and give the feeds by spoon or Canada. I know its difficult and the baby will initially struggle a lot, but it is needed as a permanent solution for the problem.2. To deflate his tummy you can turn him on to his tummy and tap his back lightly till his flatus comes out. Other option is after each feed, putting him on shoulder and burping him. Regards -
