Hallo Grannypacket,
Distention of the abdomen can be caused by few things. It can be normal thing, caused just by crying, and it can be from pathological cause. Aerophagia that can happen during feeding can be a cause of this.
This is just accumulation of the air and gas in the child stomach. It should be dangerous but it needs a treatment. However the treatment will be different for every cause, because the doctor needs to treat underling condition in order to get rid of distention in the abdomen. So the first thing that is important to do is to diagnose the underling condition, the with proper medical care the child will be better without distention in the abdomen.
Regards

well, it could be gas, of course.
I would take the toddler to the doctor ASAP.
My two year old niece had something like that suddenly appear and it was very serious...a rapid growing Wilmes Tumor. She is in college now...a beautiful girl.
Don't panic, but get that checked out.
