  Firstly, parents should not be too nervous. It is normal for babies to fart. Because breast milk or formula used to feed babies may contain a high amount of protein, it can be difficult for babies with incomplete intestinal function to completely digest it. Parents can massage their babies' stomachs to help them digest. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to whether the amount fed to the baby is appropriate and not to burden their digestion.

  Secondly, if the baby not only farts but also has a low frequency of bowel movements, it is considered that the baby is on fire. Parents can increase their baby's intake of plain water to improve their metabolic efficiency. Massage is also suitable as it can stimulate the digestive system and help the baby defecate. In terms of diet, babies who are just one month old should not consume other foods, so mothers should have a light diet. After all, if the mother has internal heat, it will affect the quality of breast milk, and the baby will also have internal heat.

  If the baby is accompanied by various symptoms besides farting, it is recommended that parents take the baby to a doctor for examination and listen to the doctor's advice. After all, doctors are professionals and will treat the baby according to the situation. Here is a reminder to parents not to blindly follow folk remedies, after all, a one month old baby is still very fragile, and if it leaves a negative impact that accompanies the baby for a lifetime, it will be regretful.
