You&rsquo;re paying attention to what you eat and medications you ingest. Gas and bloating are common symptoms at an early stage of pregnancy. If you have gas problems, this information is for you.<hr>Causes of bloating and gas during pregnancy<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1871/c21cdade-c1f9-456d-b102-aa61a4350496.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">😶Undigested carbohydratesGas is an uncomfortable result of a common process of digesting undigested carbohydrates.🍙 Gas enters your digestive tract when you swallow air and is released when bacteria in your large intestine breaks down carbohydrates.🦠😶CarbsCertain carbs can make you gas often.🍚 Fats contribute to a sense of bloating especially when you eat noodles at night because they slow down digestion.🌾😶Progesterone hormonesWhen you&rsquo;re pregnant, a high level of progesterone hormones relaxes your muscles and decelerates digestion.🤰 These relaxed muscles lead to more gas being released, bloating, burping, and flatulence after you have a big meal.😌You may experience bloating and gas a few times a day. Relax and unbutton your pants to make yourself more comfortable.😃&nbsp;<hr>Foods to avoid to help relieve pregnancy bloating and gas<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1871/28a9333b-55a3-4356-93af-98ebb34510ba.gif" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">😶Beans, whole grains, and certain vegetablesCabbage, cauliflower🥦 , brussel sprouts, broccoli🥦, asparagus contain raffinose sugar, making people more gassy. Bloating and gas are inevitable symptoms but cutting down on these kinds of food is an effective way to relieve them a bit.🌳 🌿🥬&nbsp;😶FructoseFructose, also called fruit sugar, is found in leeks, onions, artichokes, dried fruit, ketchup, pears, honey, or apples.🍒 It is often added into processed foods. Together with carbonation, fructose in sodas and fruit drinks can result in bloating and gassy feelings.🥤😶Certain starchesExcept rice, wheat or corn🌾 can lead to bloating and gas because you may not have the enzyme to break down these complex carbohydrates. When they reach the colon, bacteria start feasting on them and producing gas.😃😶Fiber-rich foodsOat bran, beans, peas🥫 and many fruits are fiber-rich and produce gas after they are digested. Wheat bran, however, is not as easily broken down as other types of foods and suitable for you if you&rsquo;re constipated.🚽&nbsp;😶Dairy productsIf you&rsquo;re lactose intolerant, you&rsquo;re likely to get diarrhea, stomachache, and gas production after consuming dairy products.🥛 Try lactose free milk or calcium-fortified soy milk to enhance your calcium intake. If all these options are not available, consult with doctors for calcium supplements.👩&zwj;⚕️&nbsp;😶High fat and fried foodsThe fiber content of most fried foods is low, making them hard to digest and remain in the colon much longer. When they stay in your digestive tract for too long, you&rsquo;re likely to feel full and bloated.😃&nbsp;

Common pregnancy aches and pains

아기들은 사람이나 물건을 왜 깨물까요? 아기에게 물리면 아프기도 하지만, 깨무는 버릇을 그대로 두면 문제 상황에 직면했을 때 깨무는 행동으로 이어질 수 있어 빨리 고쳐주는 것이 좋은데요. 오늘은 아이들이👶👄 깨무는 원인과 행동 교정을 위해 어떻게 해야 하는지에 대해서 조금 도움을 드리고자 해요.<hr>왜 깨무는 걸까?<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1085/a79ed907-f317-4477-bedb-a940693147c2.gif" style="width: 100%;">꺠물깨물🔎자연스러운 행동생후 1년 전후 시기의 아이들은 입을 통해 세상을 탐색하고 즐거움을 추구하는 &lsquo;구강기&rsquo; 시기에 들어가게 돼요. 이 시기의 아이들은 무엇이든 입으로👄 가져가서 탐색하기, 물기, 빨기 행동들을 통해 정서적 만족감을 얻기도 하는데요. 누군가를 해치려고 하는 공격적인 행동의 깨물기는 아니에요.🔎이가 나기 시작하면서이가 생기기 시작하면 잇몸이 간지럽거나 신체적으로 불편함이 생기게 돼요. 깨무는 행동으로 불편함을 감소하려는 아기들의 나름대로 노력이라고 할 수 있어요.😀 이런 상황에는 치발기, 단단한 영아용 과자 등 깨물어도 상관없는 것들을 통해 아이의 물기, 빨기 욕구를 이해하고 충족시키는 것이 중요해요.<hr>깨무는 행동 교정하기<img src="https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/images.villagebaby.kr/posts/1085/978acb4e-9037-43e8-9077-d0779c1b4cf1.gif" style="width: 100%;">궁디 팡팡🌹의사 표현의 방식아이들은 소통의 방식이 충분하지 않기 때문에 자신의 의사를 &lsquo;깨물기&rsquo;라는 방식으로 사용합니다. 원하는 것이나 자기의 물건을 지키기 위해서, 모유를🍼 먹고 있는데 평소처럼 모유가 많이 나오지 않아서 불편함을 호소, 이런 식으로 자신의 의사를 전달하는 건데요. 전후 상황을 잘 파악하는 게 중요해요. 하지만 깨물어서 문제 해결되는 방식이라고 익히게 되면 문제 직면 상황마다 계속 깨물 수도 있으니 최대한 단호하고 사무적인 말투로😑 &lsquo;깨물면 엄마가 아파&rsquo; 식으로 말해 주어야 합니다.🌹올바른 표현의 방식깨무는 아기에게 결과를 알려주기 위해서 아기를 깨무는 행동은 결코 좋지 못한 행동이에요.🙅 엄마의 이런 방법은 공격적인 행동에 대해 공격적으로 반응하라는 메시지를 줄 수도 있어요. 부모가 감정을 표현하는 모습을 보여주게 되면 아이는 자연스럽게 배우게 돼요. 예를 들면 &lsquo;엄마 예뻐요, 이렇게 해야지&rsquo; 같은 말로 가이드를 주는 것이죠. 아이가 행동을 할 때 놓치지 않고 칭찬하고 격려하는 것도 중요해요.✨🌹 관심을 가지고 행동 변화 지켜보기평소 아이와 긍정적 상호작용을 통해 아이의 행동을 잘 관찰하는 것도👀 중요해요. 언제 깨무는 행동이 나타나는지, 목적이 무엇인지를 파악한다면 사전 예방도 쉽고 깨물기 행동을 줄일 수 있어요.

깨무는 아이, 확 고쳐지는 꿀팁


161일 남아에요!

저녁 7:20 목욕 - 수유 - 30분 정도 트름 및 이야기 - 라라스에 눕히고 쪽쪽이 & 애착인형 안기고 잘자 사랑해 하면 보통 10분안으로 스스로 잠들어요!

궁금한건 저희 아기 새벽 중 한번은 꼭 깬다는건데 강성울음은 아니고 눈 떠서 낑낑하는 정도에 가보면 기저귀가 빵빵하나 새진 않은 상태

그래서 새벽에 깰때마다 기저귀만 갈아주고 수면의식처럼 똑같이 눕히고 쪽쪽이 잘자 사랑해하면 쭉 자거든요

근데 통잠이란건 새벽에 한번도 깨지않고 쭈욱 담날까지 자는 건가요? 그렇담 새벽에 애기가 깬다면 기저귀가 빵빵해도 스스로 다시 잠들때까지 냅둬야하는건지..
 새벽에 기저귀 갈아주는게 습관이 될 것 같기도 하구요!

어떻게 해야하는걸까요?

밤잠 새벽 1회 깸 

저도 계속 갈다가 더못자는거 같아서 밤잠기저귀 바꾸고 냅둬써요
처음엔 울었는데 지금은 깨도 혼자 놀다자요

저는 새벽에 아가 깨서 낑낑대도 최대한 개입은 안하는 편이에요! 낑낑대다가 혼자 다시 잠드는경우가 많더라구요~~

밤잠 기저귀 해서 빵빵해도 안 샜으니 아침까지 계속 두어요~~
우리아기도 160일인데 새벽에 한 두번씩 낑낑 깨서 쪽쪽이 셔틀하는데 어떨때는 울어서 침대에 앉아서 안아 재우고 있어요ㅠ언제 통잠 잘런지ㅠ

Its my 1st time to be pregnant and I hope you can share your pregnancy symptoms too 🤗

Pregnancy symptoms come and go

타이레놀 드셔도 될텐데 약 드세여~~ ㅜㅠ

혹시치통아니에요?
저아는분도 얼굴이라해야하나.. 뒷통수라해야하나.. 한쪽이 밤에 너무아파서응급실갔는데 치통이었다더라구요

첫째 6갤 지금 12주차 입니다 ! 제가 첫째때 임신 두통때문에 ㅜㅜㅜㅜ 일상이 어려울 정도 였눈데
ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ 호르몬 때문이어요 저도 슬 두통이 오고 있습니다 ... 타이레놀 한 20프로 증상 호전은 있어도 ㅜㅜㅜㅜ 완전 나아지지 않아요
첫찌때 진짜 뇌 어딘가가 고장이 나지 않고서야 이렇게 아플수 없다 했던 ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

13주차에 오른쪽 관자놀이가 하루 종일 아프고 하루 건너 또 아프더니 ㅠㅠ 맘카페서 철분제 미리 먹으라해서 먹었더니 안아프기 시작했어요! 혹시나 도움될까해서 댓글달아요!

헐 제가 딱 그런데 ! 목침이나 딱딱한 마사지 볼 을 땅에놓고 관자놀이나 볼을 대서 문지르거나 가만히 둬보세요 ㅠㅠ 저도 진짜 너무아파서 저녁에 한시간정도 셀프마사지하는데 훨 괜찮아요! 임신증상인가봐요... 저만 그런게 아녔군요..약간삼차신경통 재질인거같아요(제생각)

땀띠가 기저귀쪽까지 나서 아토팜크림 수딩젤 다 쓰고 있는데 잘 안낫네요 
혹시 약국도 괜찮으니 땀띠에 좋은 제품 추전부탁드려요ㅠㅠ

땀띠 로션 크림 연고추천ㅠㅠ

저도 아토팜수딩젤로션 사용하는데 일주일정도 아침저녁으로 물수건으로 세수시키고 하루두번 발라주고 시간차 두고 아무브랜드 보습로션도 추가로 발라줬어요
시간좀 걸리더라고요 저는 일주일정도 걸렸어요ㅜㅜ
아기 무조건 매쉬소재옷만 입히고 에어컨 온도도 낮춰주세여! 

파우더가  최고던데요.. 전 크림 이런거 써본족은 없고 파우더만 쓰는데 지금껏 땀띠나 기저귀발진 난적이 없어요

파우더가 아기 호흡기에 안 좋다는 말이 있던데, 혹시 걱정되시면 쁘리마쥬 기저귀크림 써보세요. 파우더가 함유된 크림이라 발진이나 땀띠나는 곳에 다 발라도 된댔어요. 

파우더가 더 건조하게 해서 안좋데요 ㅎ 얼굴은 약모밀앰플해주고  엉덩이는 쁘리마쥬 기저귀크림 좋더라고요 파우더리항 크림이라 좋았어요
