Why does the baby fart so hard?

Farting is a normal physiological phenomenon that everyone will experience. People fart because there is gas in the stomach. These gases may be the product of decomposition of the food eaten, or it may be air that enters the stomach. If there is gas in the stomach and it is not discharged, you will feel very uncomfortable. So if a baby farts hard, it may be because of stomach discomfort. Let's take a look at the reasons why babies fart hard.

The abdominal wall muscles are underdeveloped, so infancy they will use the gas accumulated in the internal organs to promote the excretion of stool. However, since the muscles of the abdominal wall are not yet developed, abdominal pressure cannot be generated without holding your breath, so it looks very painful. As a result, the face will turn red, the hands will be clenched tightly, and it will be difficult for the child to fart. Looking at it from another perspective, babies are exercising their muscles in this way, which is also very beneficial. At this time, if the baby is in great pain, parents can gently massage the baby's abdomen clockwise to help the baby expel gas.

Imperfect gastrointestinal development. Babies in infancy have immature gastrointestinal development, and intestinal peristalsis is often uncoordinated, which makes them prone to intestinal bloating and flatulence. They may also cry frequently and have difficulty farting. This phenomenon is medically called infant colic. Keep your baby in a comfortable position as much as possible to help him pass gas smoothly. If the situation is more serious, you can take some drugs to improve gastrointestinal motility. If you find that your baby's colic is difficult to relieve, you should consider whether your baby is allergic to milk protein.

It is normal that the intestines are bent and difficult to pass. This is called a long fart. The face will become red, the hands and feet will be clenched tightly, and sometimes feces will come out when farting. Because the baby's intestines are smooth and straight when sleeping, so it is easy to fart; when the baby is held in the position like curled up, the intestines have more bends, so it takes more effort to fart. Parents can lay the baby flat on the bed and perform abdominal massage to help the baby fart.

Weak spleen and stomach. Infants with weak spleen and stomach will suffer from indigestion, poor absorption, and difficulty in farting. The spleen and stomach is a system that is under pressure and test. In addition to the baby's imperfect development, it is also caused by improper feeding. The basic method is diet therapy and reasonable feeding. The best diet therapy is what we often call yam, rice, and carrot porridge. It is mainly yam, which can strengthen the spleen, strengthen the intestines, and replenish qi, and it is okay to eat it often. When breastfeeding a baby, breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to their diet and eat less foods high in protein and fat.
