What is the cause of the child's stomach gurgling and farting?

Given that children's digestive abilities are gradually improving, parents are very worried about their children having digestive problems. Although they are very careful about their diet, various accidents are still easy to occur. The most common one is that the child's stomach rumbles and the frequency of farting increases. So, what is going on when a child's stomach makes gurgling sounds and he farts? Let's take a closer look at it below.

1. Eating too much milk

If you find that your baby cries, farts a lot, and has colic when sucking milk. That could be hyperlactation syndrome, where the baby consumes a lot of foremilk and less hindmilk containing fatty acids, causing the baby's stomach to empty quickly and excrete excess lactose into the intestines, which leads to increased intestinal fermentation and colic symptoms.

Recommendation: If the baby drinks too much milk and farts a lot, it is recommended that the mother only feed the baby on one side at a time, and then wait 1.5-2 hours before feeding the baby on the other side. In addition, after the baby finishes feeding, it is recommended to hold the baby upright and gently pat his back with your hollow palms to make the baby burp and expel gas, which will make the baby feel much more comfortable. In addition, breastfeeding mothers should not eat large amounts of fruits, juices, coffee, yeast, certain fish, peanuts, peanut butter, and some gas-producing vegetables such as beans, cabbage, and onions.

2. The baby is hungry

Babies' tendency to fart is also related to being hungry. If your baby keeps farting intermittently, and most of the farts are empty but have no odor. That is mostly because after the baby's gastrointestinal tract is emptied, the intestinal motility caused by hunger increases.

Suggestion: If the mother often hears bowel sounds from the baby, it means the baby is hungry and should be fed in time. If the baby does not get enough milk and is hungry, he will cry incessantly, and even feeding him some vegetable soup or juice will not help. A hungry crying baby will be very anxious when feeding. If you also find that your baby has light sleep, is easily awakened, and often cries for no reason, it means that they want their mother to feed them. His "baby language" is: I'm hungry.

3. Eating too much starch

Often babies love to fart and they are smelly, they fart or hiccup constantly, and they have a sour smell. This is a sign of indigestion in babies!

Recommendation: If the baby's stomach is not very good and is prone to indigestion, it is recommended that the mother should reduce the amount of milk when feeding, add boiled water to reduce the intake of fat and high-protein foods. Or make the food thinner and add appropriate amount of milk containing bifidobacterium factors and glucose. Because bifidobacteria can be converted into bifidobacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, they have the effect of inhibiting Escherichia coli and promoting food digestion and absorption.

The above is an introduction to what causes children's stomachs to make gurgling sounds and to fart. I hope it will be helpful to parents. Generally, the three main factors that cause children to gurgle and fart are: parents can judge based on their children's situation and then take targeted measures to solve the problem to avoid worsening of the child's condition.
