Many babies are particularly healthy after birth without any symptoms, but later on there will always be some problems, such as crying when farting. Many parents are very worried when they see this. They are thinking whether their baby's development is poor or whether it is because the exhaust is difficult, so they will fart? So let's take a look at what to do if a baby cries after farting?
What should I do if my baby cries after farting?
1. Incomplete gastrointestinal development: The baby's gastrointestinal development is incomplete, and farting requires effort, sometimes even making the baby cry. Try to maintain a comfortable position for the baby and assist them in passing gas smoothly. If the situation is more serious, some drugs that improve gastrointestinal motility can be taken.
2. Underdeveloped abdominal wall muscles: Underdeveloped abdominal wall muscles in infants can lead to the need for effort in farting and the occurrence of crying. At this point, if the baby is in a lot of pain, parents can gently massage the baby's abdomen clockwise to help the baby exhale.
3. Intestinal curvature is not easy to release: Intestinal curvature is not easy to release gas, and sometimes frequent crying may not necessarily result in smooth release. Parents are advised to lay their babies flat on the bed and provide abdominal massage to help them fart. Intestinal diseases: Intestinal diseases are also a common cause of infants farting, straining, and crying. At this time, attention should be paid to whether the baby's abdomen has bloating, lumps, refusal to press, bowel movements, etc. Parents should immediately take the baby to the hospital.
Three different symptoms of baby farting?
1. Stinky fart: Constant flatulence or hiccups with a sour odor are a sign of poor digestion in babies. It is recommended to reduce milk intake, add hot water to reduce the intake of fat and high protein foods, and dilute the food intake.
2. Empty fart: Intermittent and continuous farting without any odor, mostly caused by increased intestinal peristalsis due to hunger after gastrointestinal emptying. At this time, I often hear the sound of intestinal sounds, which indicates that the child is hungry and should be fed in a timely manner.
3. Excessive flatulence: Excessive flatulence and feces are often caused by babies eating foods with high starch content. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the intake of foods with high starch content and increase protein and fat foods appropriately.
The above is the complete introduction about "What should I do if my baby cries after farting?", hoping to bring help to all parents. In short, it is normal for babies to cry, as long as the root cause is identified, I believe it will be resolved. But if the root cause is not found during this process, it is necessary to go to a doctor for examination and then have the doctor provide a solution so that the baby can stop crying as soon as possible.
