My baby farts very smelly but doesn’t poop. What’s going on?

The digestive function of babies is not yet sound and their digestive ability is relatively weak. If they eat the wrong food, their stomach and intestines are likely to have health problems. For example, some babies often fart but do not poop for a long time. This is most likely a gastrointestinal problem.

1. According to the situation you described, your baby has symptoms of constipation.

Suggestions:

Generally speaking, when children suffer from constipation, it is due to an imbalance of intestinal flora, a lack of beneficial bacteria and an increase in harmful bacteria. It is recommended that you give your baby some probiotics, which can regulate the baby's intestines, but do not go to the hospital to get medicine. Long-term use of medicine will have side effects. Try to go to a professional pharmacy to buy probiotics with more active bacteria to regulate your baby's intestines. Pay attention to the water temperature for preparing probiotics, which should be below 40 degrees.

2. It is best to adjust children's constipation through diet. The most important thing is to drink more water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber. Also develop the habit of regular bowel movements.

Suggestions: Suggestions: Appropriate abdominal massage and activities can increase intestinal motility and promote the discharge of stool.

3. Infant constipation is a common disease with many causes, which can be generally divided into two categories. One is functional constipation, which can be cured through conditioning; the other is constipation caused by congenital intestinal malformations, which cannot be cured through general conditioning and must be corrected through surgery. The vast majority of infant constipation is functional.

4. The baby’s problem should be caused by gastrointestinal indigestion.

Guidance:

For the healthy growth of your baby, it is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital as soon as possible.

5. If children often suffer from constipation or abnormal bowel movements, it is mostly caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction and indigestion.

Guidance:

It is recommended to drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits. If you have not had a bowel movement for a week, you can use a suppository temporarily.

6. The child’s condition may still be caused by indigestion. I suggest you try massage therapy for your child.

Guidance:

Let the child lie on his back on the bed, and the massager should place the base of his right palm against the abdominal muscles, and push gently from the right upper abdomen - the left upper abdomen - the right lower abdomen, and repeat in this direction. The technique should not be too heavy. Each time should last about ten minutes. Doing the treatment 2-3 times a day will still be helpful.
