What to do if your baby farts and cries

Farting is a normal physiological reaction of the body, especially for newborns. It is very common. It is normal for babies to fart a few times a day. If the child cries during the fart, it should be taken seriously, as it may be caused by a disease in the body. So, what should you do if your baby farts and cries? Let’s take a comprehensive look at the treatment measures below.

Frequent farting is very common in infancy. Newborns who are just a dozen days old and have been breastfed may sometimes come out with a little poop when they fart, and their stomachs often make gurgling sounds.

The gastrointestinal tract of infants is immature, which causes uncoordinated intestinal motility at different stages of the baby's life and causes intestinal bloating - gurgling sounds in the stomach, frequent gas and farting, and frequent unexplained crying. This phenomenon is medically known as infantile colic. Infant colic refers to a healthy, well-nourished baby who cries for at least three hours a day, at least three days a week, for more than three weeks. Most babies start to show symptoms 2 to 3 weeks after birth and gradually improve after 3 to 4 months.

(1) If the child has gastrointestinal bloating, it may be due to digestive disorders. You can give the child some probiotics and make some adjustments.

(2) Do an abdominal massage. Your child will feel uncomfortable at six or seven o'clock. Start an abdominal massage half an hour before that. Warm your hands when massaging. Use the warm hands to massage the child's abdomen in a clockwise direction, with a little force, for 10 to 15 minutes. You can massage two to three times a day. After the child's digestive function improves, the bloating will also improve and there should be no big problem.

The above is an introduction to what to do when your baby farts and cries. I hope it will be helpful to parents. Children cry because of farting mainly because of gastrointestinal discomfort, which can be mild or severe. The key is to make a judgment based on the child's situation and take appropriate measures to solve it. It should be given full attention and effective measures should be taken in time for treatment to avoid adverse consequences.
