4 year old baby farts smell

Nowadays, many parents are very excited when they hear their newborn baby fart for the first time, and they feel a sense of novelty. As time goes by, they begin to slowly observe the baby's eating habits, as well as some personal habits, and they need to solve the problem of smelly farts in time. Generally, if a four-year-old child farts smelly, it can be considered that the digestive system is not good, or the baby eats foods with high starch content, etc.

Why do babies fart?

In fact, it is normal for babies to fart. Parents can understand the gastrointestinal condition of their babies from the phenomenon of farting. There are several points to be specific:

1. The baby has indigestion. Many times, babies often fart and they are all smelly farts or they burp continuously, and they smell sour and smelly. This indicates that the baby has indigestion. Mom and Dad should reduce the amount of milk on a normal basis, feed the baby more boiled water, and reduce the intake of foods high in fat and protein; the rice porridge that is usually eaten can be made thinner and the amount of rice porridge can be reduced. Mom and Dad can appropriately add glucose containing bifidobacteria factors to the baby, because bifidobacteria factors can be converted into bifidobacteria in the baby's gastrointestinal tract, which can effectively inhibit Escherichia coli and promote food digestion and absorption. This is one reason why babies fart a lot.

2. Babies’ frequent farting is also related to hunger. Why do babies fart all the time? They fart intermittently and continuously, and they are all empty farts, but there is no bad smell. This situation is mostly caused by frequent intestinal peristalsis caused by hunger after the baby's gastrointestinal tract is emptied. At this time, you can often hear bowel sounds and gurgling sounds. This means the baby is hungry, and mom and dad should feed the baby milk or complementary food in time.

3. Eating foods high in starch content. Sometimes babies fart a lot and have a lot of feces. This is usually caused by the baby eating too much high-starch food. At this time, parents should reduce the intake of high-starch food and appropriately increase the intake of protein and fat food. This is another reason why babies often fart that is not easy to find.

Parents should pay close attention to the baby's living and eating habits, find out the real reason why the baby often farts, and take appropriate measures to solve it in time. If it is indigestion, let the baby's gastrointestinal tract rest and reduce the amount of milk and complementary food; if the baby is hungry, feed the baby milk or complementary food in time; if the baby has eaten food with high starch content, you should reduce the food with high starch content and increase the fat or protein food.
