My baby farts a lot without pooping for a day

Many mothers will be particularly careful when feeding their babies, because the healthy growth of babies is the hope of every family, and babies are the crystallization of family happiness. Many parents will give all their love to their babies. In the process of feeding their babies, some mothers will find that their babies always fart if they don't defecate for a day. What's going on? Let me introduce it to you!

For babies who are exclusively breastfed, their stools are yellow or golden yellow, with a uniform consistency like a paste or slurry. Occasionally, they are thin and slightly green, with a sour but not smelly taste. They have two to four bowel movements a day.

For bottle-fed babies, their stools are light yellow or earthy gray, dry and hard, strip-shaped, often contain milk curds, and have a distinct odor. They defecate 1 to 2 times a day. First of all, you need to see whether he excretes soft or hard stool.

In addition, children should be trained to have good bowel habits from the age of five months, so that they can defecate on time, preferably in the early morning or before going to bed at night. Defecation in the morning is best, and defecation at night can make the child sleep well at night. Having a bowel movement before meals can help children eat well, but not having a bowel movement after meals. The mother should first observe the child's bowel movements, and then consciously schedule bowel movements according to the child's situation. When defecating, the mother should make "mmmm" sounds with the child.

Tips for a good night's sleep

1. Develop a regular sleep schedule: This can effectively reduce the chances that your baby will cry before bedtime or be unable to fall asleep due to being too energetic.

2 Establish a good sleeping ritual: Perform some comfortable and quiet rituals before going to bed, such as bathing, changing into comfortable and soft pajamas, gargling or brushing teeth, massage, bedtime stories, listening to light music or lullabies, etc., so that everything can be soothing and quiet, which will help the baby develop a sleeping mood, reduce the time needed to fall asleep, and sleep more soundly.

3. Comfortable sleeping environment: Arrange a bedroom for your baby that is both comfortable and warm, with the temperature adjusted to 26℃~27℃ for best results. Also, do not use the bedroom as a playground. Let your baby have a correct understanding of the bedroom's function, so that he or she can enter the bedroom with anticipation every night. This will naturally create a warm environment.

4 Don’t sleep too much during the day: Avoid letting your baby take a nap after 4 or 5 o’clock in the afternoon to prevent him from being unable to sleep at night.

5. Avoid letting your baby watch images that are too stimulating or scary, so that the baby’s little head can’t calm down, or the baby is too scared to fall asleep.

6 Never let sleeping become a war: If your baby doesn’t want to sleep or wakes up in the middle of the night, in addition to using the above methods, remember to deal with it with a gentle, soft but firm attitude. Never let tension build before bedtime every day. This will not only affect the quality of sleep for parents and children, but also damage the parent-child relationship, creating a vicious cycle.
