How to treat a full-month-old baby who always farts

Many parents of babies who have just turned one month old will find that their babies always like to fart. Everyone may think that the baby has a stomachache. Otherwise, we must first consider whether the diet for the child will cause indigestion. Farting comes from indigestion, so what should we do?

Farting frequently is abnormal, as it indicates that the child has too much gas in the intestines. The reasons for excessive gas are: one is that during breastfeeding, the nipple is not filled with milk, and the baby inhales gas when sucking; one is that the milk powder has a high concentration and high sugar content, which can ferment abnormally in the intestine after eating and produce gas; one is that the mother eats food that is easy to produce gas, or consumes too much high-protein food, and the breast milk contains a lot of high-protein components, which the baby cannot digest and absorb, and is also prone to gas production.

One way to solve the problem of abdominal bloating in babies is to hold the baby up while feeding. The baby's head is elevated and the parent's arms are at 45 degrees. Can reduce gas entry. The second is to feed with a bottle or nipple. Be sure to fill the nipple with milk to reduce the gas inhaled by the baby. Third, for breastfed babies, the mother should not only put the nipple into the baby's mouth, but also try to put more of the areola into the baby's mouth. It can also reduce gas ingress. Fourth, after each feeding, hold the baby upright and burp him. Specific steps: The baby faces the parent and leans on the parent's shoulder. The parent's hands are hollow. Pat your baby's back gently from bottom to top until your baby burps. Hold the baby upright for another 20 minutes. When you lay the baby flat, turn his face to one side to prevent sudden spitting up of milk that may enter the trachea or ears. Fifth, parents can gently help their baby rub his stomach to help the gas move down until it is discharged from the body.

For many parents, if they find that their one-month-old baby is always farting, they should first look at the child’s diet. In many cases, it is easy to cause indigestion in children due to unhygienic and careless diet.
