Why does the baby fart too much?
- Swallow excess air
When eating and drinking water, wolf down, open your mouth and cry loudly, only contain the mother’s nipple when eating milk, not most areola, or the nipple is not full of milk when artificial feeding, these actions will let excessive air enter the gastrointestinal tract, causing the baby to flatulence and fart.
- The result of the interaction of various foods
Microorganisms will produce waste gas in the process of digesting and decomposing food. If breast-feeding babies do not eat empty milk on both sides, If you eat more pre-milk and less post-milk containing fatty acids, the stomach will quickly empty, a large amount of lactose will enter the intestinal tract, and fermentation will produce a lot of waste gas. Or the nursing mother will eat high-yield foods such as broccoli, onions, garlic and cabbage, which will affect the baby through milk.
Signals transmitted by different farts
- Smelly fart
When the baby is about to defecate, the intestinal peristalsis increases, and the gas in the intestinal tract will be discharged, releasing smelly farts, which will stop after the defecation is discharged. If the baby or the nursing mother eats more protein foods, the protein will decompose in the intestinal tract to produce amine waste gas, which will also release smelly farts.
Therefore, it is much more smelly for babies who drink milk to fart than ordinary people.
In addition, when the baby has gastrointestinal dyspepsia, the food in the body accumulates for too long, a large number of intestinal bacteria decompose and multiply, and will fart frequently with strong odor.
In this case, attention should be paid to
If the baby farts odorously and smells bad, and at the same time listlessness is accompanied by fever or diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms, it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of diseases such as bacillary dysentery, amoebic dysentery, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhagic enteritis and the like, and to consult a doctor quickly.
- Fart with shit
If the big baby farts with poop and farts with foul smell, this situation needs treatment. It may be gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by intestinal bacteria, virus infection, intestinal flora imbalance, etc.
- Don’t fart
Fart means that the intestinal tract is unobstructed.
If the baby does not fart for a long time, it will not be easy, and there will be abdominal pain and crying uneasiness, which may be the precursor of intestinal obstruction and require timely medical treatment.
- Cry when farting
When the baby is flatulent, he often shows uneasiness and fear, accompanied by uninterrupted crying and struggling and frequent farting. There are many reasons for the baby’s crying. Flatulent pain or discomfort is not the only reason, and in most cases such crying is making trouble.
For most babies, flatulence is a must, breast-feeding mothers need to pay more attention to which foods will cause baby flatulence. However, food is not the only source of gas production, and there is no need to eat only a few foods in order to prevent baby flatulence, which affects nutrition absorption.
If parents are determined to solve this problem, they can improve it by feeding slowly, brewing formula milk powder correctly, belching more and doing exhaust exercises.
