What's going on with a baby farting and defecating
Farting is just some bloating, it's normal. Can bring out some stool, because the baby's breast milk and formula are both liquid foods, so there is more loose stool, not diarrhea. Observing the stool characteristics of infants and young children can help understand their digestion status. If the baby's stool has a noticeable odor, it indicates poor protein digestion, and the amount of milk should be reduced or diluted appropriately. If there is more foam in the stool, it means that carbohydrate is indigestion, and starchy food must be reduced or even stopped. If the appearance of stool is creamy, it indicates poor fat digestion and the intake of oily foods should be reduced.
