What is the reason why newborns fart a lot?

Parents must pay special attention to the daily life care of newborns, because if the care is improper, or if some health problems of the newborn are not discovered in time by the parents, it will have a great impact on the health and safety of the newborn. However, having a lot of farts is an abnormal phenomenon, which may be caused by some health problems. So, what is the reason why newborns fart a lot?

For babies, frequent farting is not normal but a problem of gastrointestinal gas accumulation. Therefore, we need to make accurate judgments and analyses based on the baby's individual situation, find the cause, and eliminate it to achieve relief. Among them, there are four conditions that are the main reasons, mothers must know and learn to analyze them.

1. The baby gets angry after eating milk

When babies feed, they take in a lot of gas, so there is gas accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract. At this time, continuous farting to expel excess gas is also the main reason why babies fart a lot. In this case, it is very important to pay attention to the placement of the bottle when the baby is eating.

2. The baby ate cold milk

When babies drink cold milk, their stomachs are often easily caught in a cold, which can also easily cause flatulence, so it is right to let babies drink warm milk that is not scalding. Especially when making milk, it is best to use warm water directly, which means that the mother does not need to wait and the baby can drink comfortably.

3. The baby’s stomach is cold

There are many situations that can easily cause a baby's stomach to catch a cold, such as the water used to wash the baby after defecation is cold, the baby is exposed for too long, or the room is too cold, the temperature is too low, etc., or the mother who is breastfeeding has a cold stomach, which may also cause the baby to catch a cold stomach.

4. The baby's bacterial flora is disturbed when taking antibiotics

Some synbiotic fungal ingredients served to babies can cause disorder in intestinal flora and easily produce various gases in the intestines, causing babies to fart continuously.

It is normal for babies to fart, but farting too much reflects gastrointestinal problems. The four basic reasons summarized above are also the main reasons. If you find such a phenomenon, you must find the cause in time and then relieve it symptomatically. Generally, the effect is very good, so don’t worry too much. Just continue to observe, and after eliminating the cause, the symptoms will be significantly alleviated, and there will be no problem.
