Normal: Small little tummies have active peristalsis and louder than usual bowel sounds. No worries if age is not fussy and having normal bowel movements.

Musical tummy: Infants swallow air and or make gas during digestion and it makes noise moving around the intestines. Their tummy can be quite musical and come to your attention as you project adult worries on the baby.It is a normal event. If baby is not bothered i would ignore it. Remember baby has no social conscience and doesn't care if his/her stomach makes noise.

Baby Belly Trouble?: Muscle contraction in our intestines digests food. However, if it's unusually loud or associated with excessive spit-ups, bloated tummy, poor sleep, poor weight-gain, chronic diaper rash, patches of dry skin, or redness in the creases of her elbows/knees, then it should be investigated by her pediatrician. Remember, everything you eat your baby eats, so avoid nuts and shellfish until she's 1.

Very normal: It is very normal to hear sounds from your baby's tummy, especially when she is hungry or has recently eaten. These are normal parts of digestion, and her abdominal wall is very thin!
