Why does my child keep farting?

Some parents reported that their 15-year-old child usually had a large appetite and was a bit fat, but recently he suddenly didn’t like to eat much, and he farted frequently and smelled very bad. We know that parents need to observe their children's daily health conditions carefully. When a child shows any discomfort, it will often manifest itself in special forms. If a child farts a lot and the farts are particularly smelly, it may mean that there are some health problems.

1. Reasons why children often fart

1. Consider the phenomena caused by indigestion. Children are born with weak spleen and stomach and imperfect gastrointestinal function. They are prone to increased intestinal gas production due to excessive intake of sweets and starchy foods. Due to poor intestinal motility, the protein in the food ferments abnormally in the intestines, resulting in frequent and smelly farts.

2. There may still be symptoms caused by colitis. The treatment mainly depends on conditioning. You should pay attention to avoiding cold, controlling your emotions and strengthening exercise. Pay attention to food hygiene, do not eat raw, cold, hard or spoiled food, avoid alcohol and spicy condiments, and strengthen exercise to strengthen the waist and kidneys and improve physical fitness.

3. If a child's farts are smelly, it may be a gastrointestinal problem. Observe whether the child has not had a bowel movement in the past two days. If so, he may be getting a little irritated. Let the child drink more warm water, rub the child's abdomen clockwise for a few circles, or use thicker soapy water to wash her anus to ensure smooth bowel movements. Give her some Mommy Love appropriately to regulate her intestines.

2. What should I do if my child always farts?

In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. When eating, it is advisable to chew slowly to avoid swallowing too much air. Foods that easily produce gas, such as onions, ginger, raw garlic, potatoes, sweets, beans and pasta, should also be avoided in excess. Eating more vegetables and fruits and drinking a glass of yogurt every day can help change the gastrointestinal bacteria. Usually, let your child drink more boiled water and eat a light diet. You can also give your baby some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets.

3. What to do if your baby loves to fart

1. Too much milk

The baby farts because he eats too much milk. When your baby is breastfeeding, if you have enough milk, your baby will inhale a lot of foremilk, resulting in less hindmilk, which will be very easy for the baby to digest. At this time, the baby's stomach is empty and contains gas, so he will naturally fart.

2. Maternal intake

For postpartum women, if they eat coffee, fruit, fish, peanuts and other foods that can produce odor after digestion in the body, the baby will also fart a lot of smelly things after sucking milk.

3. Baby is hungry

When the baby is hungry, there is no other food in the body, only gas, so it is natural for him to fart easily in this state. However, at this time, the fart is not smelly, but just gas. Therefore, when this phenomenon occurs, mothers should feed their babies.
