The reason why babies fart a lot

Parents think it's fun when babies fart occasionally, but many parents are worried if their babies love to fart and fart a lot, because if babies love to fart, it means there is a problem with the intestines. Many parents are particularly worried about their children's health, so they want to fully understand the reasons why babies love to fart. The following content gives a detailed introduction so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

1. The baby's gastrointestinal tract is immature, which causes uncoordinated intestinal peristalsis, intestinal bloating and frequent farting;

2. Swallowing too much air when crying or feeding;

3. The mother has too much milk. She feels full every time she breastfeeds after eating the foremilk which is higher in protein and water, but eats very little of the hindmilk which is higher in fat. The stomach will empty quickly and discharge excess lactose into the intestines, causing increased intestinal fermentation and gas production. In addition, gas is also easily produced after some protein is digested.

4. Breast-fed babies whose mothers eat too much irritating food;

5. The baby wants to defecate, and farting is also a signal that the baby is defecate.

Three types of baby farts

1. Stinky farts: Continuous farting or hiccups with a sour and smelly odor are signs of indigestion in babies. You should reduce the amount of milk, add boiled water, reduce the intake of fat and high-protein foods, and make the food thinner.

2. Empty farts: Farting is intermittent and continuous, but without any odor. It is mostly caused by increased intestinal motility due to hunger after the gastrointestinal tract is emptied. You may also hear bowel sounds, which means your baby is hungry and should be fed promptly.

3. Frequent farts: Frequent farts and feces are often caused by the baby eating too much food with high starch content. At this time, you should reduce the intake of food with high starch content and appropriately increase the amount of protein and fat food.
