Many parents pay close attention to their babies' every move, especially when they defecate or fart. Especially for babies aged 1-3, their digestive system is not yet fully developed, and they can observe their physical condition through defecating and farting. Babies also have a lot of attention to farting. Like adults, they will fart after eating some stimulating food. So, what is the reason for babies to fart? Let's learn together with the editor:
What's wrong with a baby farting
Baofangfart refers to the sound of a baby's flatulence, which is not expelled through the anus, but can still be heard. In fact, this sound is produced by the baby's intestines and belongs to the category of intestinal sounds. It is a sign of hunger in the baby's intestines. At this time, it indicates that the child is feeling hungry, and parents should breastfeed or add complementary foods to the baby in a timely manner.
What do different farts represent
1. Baby farts
If a baby frequently farts and the gas emitted is very unpleasant or has a sour odor, accompanied by hiccups, it may indicate that the baby has symptoms of gastrointestinal indigestion. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to her diet not being too greasy and can eat light and easily digestible foods. This way, the breast milk given to the baby will also be easily digestible, avoiding the child from experiencing indigestion; If the baby is artificially fed, adding some warm water between two feedings and feeding them in small amounts multiple times can also help alleviate the baby's digestive problems.
2. Baby farts too much
Excessive farting in babies often indicates digestive disorders, peptic ulcers, gastritis, and other related illnesses. If the baby continues to fart excessively, parents should take the child to the hospital for further examination, identify the cause, and then prescribe the right medicine.
3. Baby farts and poops
Sometimes, babies may bring out a little bit of feces when farting. This situation should not be taken lightly, as it is usually caused by the digestive discomfort in the intestines due to the child eating too much high starch food. Parents can reduce the intake of starchy foods for their babies, increase the amount of protein and vitamin rich foods appropriately, and avoid drinking too much water to alleviate the problem of children farting and defecating.
What's going on with a baby farting? Then ask the baby if they are hungry. Generally, farting is because the baby's stomach is empty and there is no food in it. Parents need to prepare food for the baby in a timely manner. When the baby's stomach is empty, they should eat light food and not eat too much at once. There are many types of baby farts, as mentioned earlier. Parents can pay attention to them.
