Some babies may grow up to a month old, but in daily life, many mothers often find that their babies always fart. This has left many mothers puzzled, not knowing the reason why their one month old baby always farts, and not knowing if this situation represents an abnormality in the baby's body, so they are particularly worried and seek advice everywhere. So today, the editor will tell you the reason!
What is the reason why a one month old baby always farts
1. Swallow excessive air. The digestive system of young infants is not yet fully developed, and their stomachs are small and flat. When a large amount of air passes through the intestines, infants may feel very uncomfortable and experience exhaust.
2. Overlactation syndrome. The characteristics are crying and fussing while breastfeeding, excessive farting, and abdominal cramps. The reason is that infants consume a large amount of pre milk and a small amount of post milk containing fatty acids. As a result, the stomach quickly empties and excessive lactose is excreted into the intestines, leading to increased intestinal fermentation, bloating, and abdominal cramps.
3. Mother's diet contains stimulating ingredients.
4. The baby's stomach is cold, causing the baby to have bloating and flatulence.
5. Taking antibiotics for too long can disrupt the gut microbiota, causing abnormal fermentation and bloating of food in the intestine.
What should I do if a baby always farts
Firstly, make the baby burp and exhale every time they are breastfed. When breastfeeding, hold the baby in a semi sitting position in your arms and let the baby hold the nipple and areola together in their mouth. The milk flow should not be too fast or interrupted; The puncture hole of the rubber nipple should not be too large or too small, and do not empty suction the artificial nipple.
Secondly, only one side of the baby should be fed at a time, and then it should take 1.5-2 hours before feeding on the other side.
Thirdly, lactating mothers should avoid consuming large amounts of fruits, juices, coffee, yeast, certain fish, peanuts, peanut butter, and some gas producing vegetables such as beans, cabbage, and onions, as these foods can affect milk production and make babies more prone to bloating.
Fourthly, pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm and feeding them with warmth.
The reason why a one month old baby always farts has been explained in great detail in the previous article, and I believe that all mothers should also be deeply inspired. In fact, this situation can be effectively improved. Mothers can try to help their babies burp and exhale while breastfeeding, and also pay attention to their baby's warmth. If these aspects are done well, I believe the baby can recover normally.
