2. Swollen belly
is a sign that your baby has Hirschsprung disease. Parents think it’s cute when their baby has a big belly, but more could be going on with your child than you think. When your baby has a swollen belly, it won’t go away on its own. It’s important to take your baby in to see their pediatrician who can examine the infant to see what is going on with him or her.
If Hirschsprung disease is diagnosed, then the pediatrician will discuss with the parents what the next steps are. It’s important that the parents do everything that the pediatrician says that the infant can get treatment as soon as possible. The baby can’t be feeling well if he or she has a swollen belly. An infant can’t tell its parents that they’re in pain. You, as the parent have to make the right decisions for the baby.
