Is his stomach always hard? Is he pooping regularly? Sounds like he may be constipated. Try giving some apple juice and see if that does help. Also, make sure he's getting 2-3 servings of fruits and veggies every day. It helps keep them regular.

You should probably bring him to the doctor. It's probably a gas build up, or he could be constipated. Has he has regular bowel movements? My youngest brother had a problem like that when he was a baby... I would go to the doctor!

If he is constipated try some apple juice and make sure he is getting lots of water. If you need to glycerin suppositories work very well to get the pipes back in order.

It's probably gas built up. My son's stomach was always hard and he always had gas. It made him really fussy but he eventually grew out of it. I used to pump his legs to try and get him to get rid of it. Sometimes it worked and most of the time it didn't. there is not too much you can do.

This is fully normal. Your child is a bit bloated and starting to retain a bit of water or fat. This is also normal. I wouldnt worry about it too much.

Of course questions like these should be posed to your pediatrician. My first thought though is to ask if he has regular bowel movements? He could need something to help him/her be more regular.
