Breastfeeding routines that are not in the right position and with a good grip will cause your baby to swallow more air, causing bloating.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The foods consumed by the mother during the breastfeeding period pass to the baby through breast milk. Therefore, pay attention to your nutrition during breastfeeding. Foods such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, dairy products, legumes, tea, coffee, grapefruit and oranges are among the foods that cause gas. If your baby has gas problems, avoid consuming these foods during breastfeeding.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For bottle fed babies, try to hold the bottle at the right angle and try to eliminate the possibility of swallowing air. Be careful not to shake the bottle while preparing formula to prevent air bubbles from forming in the bottle.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> When buying a baby bottle, choose the one with anti-colic features and non-gassing apparatus.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Take a warm bath to soften the hardness in your abdomen in order to benefit from the relaxing effect of water. Gently rub your baby&#8217;s tummy during the bath.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Do not dress your baby in layers and thick clothes.

In your baby&#8217;s stomach, which is fed hourly, digested and undigested milk canmixand form gas.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If possible, feed your baby only with breast milk. Breast milk is more easily digested than formula and causes less gas problems.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Make sure to burp the baby after feeding and between feedings.

These pillows, which contain cherry\u00a0pits\u00a0and can be heated in the microwave, provide a similar function to a hot water bag and can be attached to the tummy of babies to provide warmth for a long time.

You can prepare fennel tea by steeping 1-2 teaspoons of fennel in 2-3 cups of warm water for 10 minutes. However, it is forbidden to use herbs such as fennel in infants before the 6th month. For babies older than 6 months, with the approval of their doctor, 1-2 teaspoons of fennel tea can be consumed 2-3 times a day. In babies younger than 6 months, the mother can consume fennel tea instead of the baby and pass it to the baby through milk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold;\" data-contrast=\"none\">4.
