    Can I hear liquid sloshing around in my baby's tummy?

    This is going to sound really odd (but those of you who have read my posts know that I am a bit of a worrier). When I bounce DS on my legs, I hear a sloshing - like liquid in his tummy - is this possible? or could it be something else that should be checked out? He's totally fine physically etc. and has been to all his MCHN check-ups as well as to the GP a few times and the pediatrician a few times, no one has noticed anything...which leads me to think this is nothing, but I had to ask.

    I've heard that sloshing sound in all my bubs . Usually it's not long after a feed when the milk hasn't digested yet. I heard DD's (she's 21 months) tummy slosh after a drink just the other day LOL!

    I have heard liquid sploshing in the tummy's of both my boys. Nothing to worry about. If you listen too hard you will hear all sorts of noises coming from their insides, though probably best not to if you are a worrier.

    I really like the sloshing sound, it means he has a belly full of milk
