Reasons why newborn babies fart

Many newborn babies are not well adapted to the external environment, and often show symptoms that make their parents very worried. For example, they often sneeze and spit up milk. This is also a common thing for many babies. Careful mothers have also observed that newborn babies fart. What causes this?

For babies who are exclusively breastfed, their stools are yellow or golden yellow, with a uniform consistency like a paste or slurry. Occasionally, they are thin and slightly green, with a sour but not smelly taste. They have two to four bowel movements a day. For bottle-fed babies, their stools are light yellow or earthy gray, dry and hard, strip-shaped, often contain milk curds, and have a distinct odor. They defecate 1 to 2 times a day. Possible reasons why baby's stool is green: Generally, the stool of breastfed babies is acidic, and normal stool is slightly green, sometimes mixed with some white particles. If a formula-fed baby has green stools, it means that the intestinal motility is accelerated or there is inflammation in the intestine, which is a symbol of diarrhea. Some parents think that their children’s green stools are caused by some kind of shock, which is wrong. In addition, for the health of the baby, it is necessary to take in enough iron. If the baby who eats milk powder containing iron cannot fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, the stool will be yellow-green, the white particles in the stool will be larger, and it will be more likely to have a foul odor.
