Three month old baby's fart smells bad but he doesn't poop

It is actually very unhealthy for a three-month-old baby to have smelly farts and not have bowel movements. It is actually very worrying for parents when their baby does not have a bowel movement. Parents can massage the baby's belly by placing their palms on it and gently massaging it. This can promote the baby's intestinal peristalsis and achieve the effect of promoting digestion.

Why does a three-month-old baby not poop and fart smells so bad?

1. Indigestion. If your baby farts frequently and the gas has a strong odor, it may be caused by indigestion. You can insist on massaging your baby every day, starting from the navel and massaging in a clockwise spiral outward to promote gastrointestinal motility and aid digestion.

2. Caused by constipation. If you fart without having a bowel movement and it smells bad, it is mostly caused by constipation. Insufficient breast milk or excessive protein content in breast milk can cause constipation in babies. At this time, the baby's farts will have an odor and the stools will be dry and hard.

What should I do if my baby doesn't poop and farts very badly?

1. Massage method: Place your palms down flat on the baby's navel and gently push and rub in a clockwise direction. This not only speeds up the baby's intestinal peristalsis and promotes defecation, but also helps digestion.

2. Pay attention to diet: Breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating spicy, greasy, raw, cold, or irritating foods, and should also give their babies more water.

3. Apply hot compress to the baby’s stomach. Do not let the baby’s stomach get cold and cause diarrhea.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the causes and consequences of three-month-old babies not defecating but farting very smelly. Parents must not be careless about this situation of their babies, otherwise the baby may cry incessantly due to physical discomfort for a long time. Find out the cause in time and add water to the baby when breastfeeding.
