Hello. A few questions for you about your daughter -

How long has she had the big belly?

Is it all the time or is it more noticeable at certain times of rhte day. For example, is it flatter in the morning?

If you have her lay down and gently press on her belly, is it hard or soft?

Does she have any known food allergies - like wheat, dairy?

Thanks.

She has had it for at least 9 months. Her belly seems soft. It also seems to be bigger towards the end of the day. It is still big in the morning but it is much bigger towards the end of the day.

She doesn't have any food allergies.

Her pediatrician keeps telling us its normal and it will go down. She
