Why does a baby fart and cry?

Why does a baby cry before farting? This is a very worrying question for a new mother. If a baby farts and cries, mothers must find out the reason, because babies cannot speak, and if they feel any physical discomfort, they will express it through crying. Therefore, whether the crying of a newborn is normal or abnormal, new mothers must be careful enough to distinguish it, so as not to bring greater impact to the baby. Let's look at the following mothers' problems and solutions:

If a baby farts and cries, it is very likely that he has gastrointestinal bloating and may have digestive dysfunction. You can give the child some probiotics and make some adjustments.

Some children cry regularly in the late afternoon or at some time at night. This is called infantile colic.

Most children with colic symptoms will cry for 3 hours or more every 24 hours, and their abdomen will be bloated, gassy, ​​bloated and painful, causing them to cry constantly.

Most infants who suffer from infantile intestinal spasms are 2 to 4 weeks old, and this symptom will gradually disappear after 3 months.

Some children cry and become irritable after feeding, which may be because they are fed too much or not enough.

Intestinal cramps generally do not occur before feeding. Crying before feeding is mostly because the baby is hungry.

Causes and solutions for intestinal spasms

Fortunately, intestinal spasms do not affect children's growth, development and health level.

In addition, children may experience intestinal colic regardless of whether they are breastfed or fed with formula.

If a child develops colic, most parents blame themselves and feel very sorry for the child, wondering if they have done something wrong. At this time, you should ask your doctor to do a comprehensive examination. If there is nothing serious, you can rest assured.

Changing your child's formula won't do much to relieve intestinal spasms.

If the mother drinks caffeinated beverages or eats too much chocolate, the child's crying will be aggravated, while staying away from these two types of food will reduce the child's crying.

You need to do an abdominal massage. Your child will feel uncomfortable at six or seven o'clock, so start an abdominal massage half an hour before that. Warm your hands when massaging, and use your warm hands to massage the child's abdomen clockwise 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.

I hope the above introduction can help new mothers as to why babies fart and cry. However, if the baby cries for a long time, cries suddenly, or even cries "deathly", it is abnormal. If this happens, you should suspect whether the child has diseases such as intestinal obstruction. It is best to take the child to the doctor for further diagnosis.
