These are the signs in the baby
In a baby, various signs may indicate that there is a bowel obstruction. Typically, the abdomen is hard and hurts even with slight pressure. In addition, the baby often refuses food and vomits.
Because of the severe pain, the baby usually cries out, pulls on his or her legs and cannot be calmed. Particularly threatening signs of intestinal obstruction or other serious health problems in babies are pale skin, cold sweat, listlessness or loss of consciousness. In such cases, a doctor should be consulted as soon as possible.
