What Causes Swollen Belly In A Baby?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi my baby is two weeks old and her belly appears swollen, she is eating regularly and only cries when she is hungry. It appears that her food is not digesting properly as she vomits after every feed but is hungry again even though her stomach is full. Sometimes when feeding she wriggles her abdomen area like she has a cramp or trapped wind.

hello dear!
your baby has abdominal colic.
you can try colic drops 2-3 drops 3-4 times a day whenever he wriggles her abdomen and you feel she is having pain.
Also you can try some home remedies like green tea made with 2-3 fennel seeds boiled in a glass of water.
Give her this green tea about 2-3 tablespoon a day.
you should make her burp properly after feeding.This vomiting is actually gastroesophageal reflux.It can be avoided by giving prokinetics like syp. Domperidone(about 1.5 ml) thrice a day and aluminium hydroxide containing suspension like syp. gaviscon (1.5 ml thrice a day) and syp. ranitidine (1.5 ml twice a day) all for 2 weeks.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
