What are the measures to relieve baby’s constipation and smelly farts?

The baby's digestive function is very weak. If the baby is not fed the right food, he or she will easily become constipated and often fart. This is an obvious manifestation of a problem with the baby's gastrointestinal health. At this time, you should give the baby more water and adjust the diet structure reasonably. If the condition does not improve, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for examination to rule out pathological causes.

First, how to relieve constipation and frequent farting in newborns

1. If you find that your baby's constipation and frequent flatulence are caused by indigestion, mothers should try to adjust the feeding method and the amount of milk fed, and also give the baby more water to moisten the intestines to promote defecation.

2. Train your baby to develop good habits of loving and timely defecation to avoid leaving food in the body for a long time.

3. Massaging the baby's abdomen and butt with appropriate techniques and strength can help promote bowel movements.

4. If your baby has difficulty defecating, you can consider using a suppository to help lubricate your baby's intestines so that your baby will not be constipated and fart frequently.

5. If the above methods cannot relieve the baby's symptoms of constipation and frequent flatulence, parents must take the baby to see a doctor in time and consider giving the baby medication.

Second, indigestion

Basically, the symptoms of constipation and frequent farting in newborns come from indigestion, which means that your baby's delicate stomach and intestines are temporarily unable to adapt to your feeding method or feeding amount, which leads to gastrointestinal discomfort, inability to excrete normally, and constipation. The baby can only release the discomfort by farting.

Third, abnormal bowel habits

If the baby does not have good bowel habits and is used to suppressing bowel movements, it will easily cause constipation and frequent flatulence.

4. Physical discomfort

If your baby suffers from long-term constipation and farts frequently, and these symptoms are difficult to relieve, then it is very likely that the baby is sick. At this time, parents need to take the baby for a detailed examination to find out the cause of the disease.

Fifth, emotional influence

Newborns are very emotionally fragile and their moods are easily affected. If the baby is in a bad mood, it will easily affect his physiological excretion function. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the baby's emotional problems and try to keep the baby in a relaxed and happy mood.
