Why does a baby fart so loudly and a lot?

There are many common problems for babies. In order to solve them, you must first understand the problems. This way, when it comes to alleviating them, you will know what method to choose. It is common for babies to fart loudly and frequently. At this time, mothers must pay attention and first understand the baby's condition. Only then will you know how to improve it. So, what is going on when babies fart loudly and frequently? The following is a detailed introduction.

Why does a baby fart loudly and often?

1. Swallowing excessive air:

The baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, and the stomach is small and flat. When a large amount of air passes through the intestines, the baby will feel very uncomfortable. If there is a lot of gas, the mother should let him burp more often, and let him burp to pass gas before and during each feeding. When feeding, hold the baby in a semi-sitting position in your arms, let the baby hold the nipple and areola in his mouth, and the milk flow should not be too fast or intermittent. The hole in the rubber nipple should not be too large or too small, and do not suck the artificial nipple empty.

2. Excessive milk syndrome:

The symptoms are crying while sucking milk, frequent farting and abdominal colic. The reason is that when babies consume a lot of foremilk and less hindmilk containing fatty acids, their stomachs empty quickly and excess lactose is discharged into the intestines, which leads to increased intestinal fermentation and colic symptoms. The baby should only be fed on one side at a time, and then wait 1.5-2 hours before feeding on the other side.

3. Stimulating ingredients in the mother’s diet:

Breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating large amounts of fruits, juices, coffee, yeast, certain fish, peanuts, peanut butter, and some gas-producing vegetables such as beans, cabbage, and onions.

4. The baby wants to defecate

Another possibility is that the baby wants to defecate, then farting is also a signal of the baby's defecation. There is a good saying: wind is at the head of rain, fart is at the head of shit, which means that people will inevitably fart before defecation. Based on this point, the mother can touch the baby in time to let the baby defecate, so there is no need to worry about wasting a diaper.

After understanding why babies fart loudly and frequently, to relieve the problem, you should pay attention to feeding them. Don't feed them too much each time, otherwise it will affect the baby's digestion, which will make the problem worse. This is what you should know when relieving the problem.
