The newborn farts after struggling hard

There are many strange things about newborns, so parents must pay full attention to take care of their babies. When faced with some strange phenomena, many parents don’t know what is going on and simply think that the baby is having a tantrum. Many parents have observed that newborns sometimes struggle to prevent themselves from holding them, and then fart hard after the struggle. So how do newborns prevent farts after struggling hard?

In this case, children should consider that they have stomach discomfort, which is mostly caused by poor digestion. Children can be given food enzymes, lactase, pepsin oral solution, etc. to promote digestion. If the stool is loose, you can use Smecta to stop diarrhea and protect the intestinal mucosa. If your child is fed with milk powder, you may consider changing the milk powder. If the child is breastfed, it is recommended that the mother's diet should be nutritious, light, and easily digestible. The mother should not eat too much greasy food, or eat raw or cold foods such as tangerines, oranges, watermelons, grapes, bananas, etc., or frozen foods. Also don't eat foods that are difficult to digest, such as soybeans and potatoes. If the mother's gastrointestinal function is not good, such as diarrhea, constipation, etc., taking Changlekang or Bifikon orally to adjust the balance of intestinal flora will help the child's recovery. You can massage the belly in a clockwise direction around the navel to relieve your child's discomfort.

The baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, and the stomach is small and flat. When a large amount of air passes through the intestines, the baby will feel very uncomfortable. If there is a lot of gas, the mother should let him burp more often, and let him burp to pass gas before and during each feeding. When feeding, hold the baby in a semi-sitting position in your arms, let the baby hold the nipple and areola in his mouth, and the milk flow should not be too fast or intermittent. The hole in the rubber nipple should not be too large or too small, and do not suck the artificial nipple empty.

2. Excessive milk syndrome:

The symptoms are crying while sucking milk, frequent farting and abdominal colic. The reason is that when babies consume a lot of foremilk and less hindmilk containing fatty acids, their stomachs empty quickly and excess lactose is discharged into the intestines, which leads to increased intestinal fermentation and colic symptoms. The baby should only be fed on one side at a time, and then wait 1.5-2 hours before feeding on the other side.

Breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating large amounts of fruits, juices, coffee, yeast, certain fish, peanuts, peanut butter, and some gas-producing vegetables such as beans, cabbage, and onions.

4. The baby wants to defecate

Another possibility is that the baby wants to defecate, then farting is also a signal of the baby's defecation. There is a good saying: wind is at the head of rain, fart is at the head of shit, which means that people will inevitably fart before defecation. Based on this point, the mother can touch the baby in time to let the baby defecate, so there is no need to worry about wasting a diaper.
