I hear my 3 month old daughter's tummy gurgling, is this normal?

Question

Hello ! Funny question but I really hear my 3 month old daughter's tummy gurgling a lot sometimes before her bowel movements but sometimes just like that. It's like we hear her digestion a lot. If you put your hand on her belly you can also feel it "move". She is exclusively breastfed and has at least 2 bowel movements a day (so not constipated) . Is this normal? My son has never done this. I massage her belly, bring her legs towards her belly button. Anything else to do? Probiotics?

Hello, thank you for your question! Although it may sound unusual, the situation as you describe it does not necessarily indicate a problem. The gurgling could be gas, or digestion, or both. There is nothing you can do about it, especially in the absence of other symptoms :) I hope I've been reassuring you, and I'm still available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
