What should I do if my newborn keeps farting?

It is a very common phenomenon for babies to fart. As the saying goes, farting is a manifestation of digestion. Farting proves ventilation and should be a very normal phenomenon. It is abnormal for newborns to fart continuously because their digestive esophagus is not developed normally. Let us understand what to do if newborns keep farting?

This is related to the immature development of the baby's gastrointestinal tract. The immaturity of gastrointestinal function will cause the baby's intestinal motility to be uncoordinated and cause bloating. Mom and dad will hear the baby's stomach gurgling and the baby will fart a lot. Some babies will even cry for unexplained reasons.

This phenomenon is what we usually call infant colic. What is the specific definition of infantile colic? It means that a healthy baby cries for at least 3 hours a day for no apparent reason, at least 3 days a week, and lasts for more than 3 weeks. Most newborns begin to experience colic 2 weeks after birth and gradually improve after 4 months.

The above is how to deal with a newborn baby who keeps farting. Newborn diseases cannot be left unattended. Intestinal digestion problems directly affect the appetite and eating habits of newborns, and can cause more serious malnutrition. So when your child shows symptoms of farting, you can go to the hospital for a check-up.
