Due to the immature development of the digestive system in the baby's gastrointestinal tract, digestive problems are prone to occur in daily life. At this time, mothers need to quickly identify the cause of digestive problems and take measures to treat them in order to avoid adverse effects. Recently, a mother found that her baby often farts but does not defecate. She wants to know why the baby only farts but does not defecate?
The baby only farts and does not defecate, but the farts they release do not have a foul odor, and their daily bowel movements are relatively smooth. For this occasional situation, the mother should consider that it may be a signal of the baby's gastrointestinal emptying. The baby may experience accelerated gastrointestinal peristalsis due to hunger, leading to continuous farting. In addition to farting, occasional bowel sounds may also occur. At this time, the mother only needs to feed the baby to solve the problem.
If the baby still farts without defecating after feeding, it should be considered that the baby has symptoms of indigestion. The baby's gastrointestinal development is incomplete, so their gastrointestinal motility will be relatively weak. Once digestive abnormalities occur, the speed of gastrointestinal motility will be slowed down, leading to constipation and inability to defecate normally. Food in the esophagus will continue to accumulate after entering the gastrointestinal tract, causing the fermentation of decay and easy flatulence.
When this situation occurs, the mother should adjust the baby's diet structure as soon as possible, allowing the baby to eat more easily digestible foods, especially vegetables and fruits with high fiber content. Fiber can accelerate gastrointestinal function, have a moisturizing and laxative effect, and under the guidance of a doctor, give the baby a moderate amount of probiotics to regulate intestinal flora, promote digestion and defecation. In addition, the mother can give the baby abdominal massage in the morning and evening to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and timely defecation.
