Everyone farts, and babies are no exception. Once the baby farts, mothers and fathers always jokingly press their noses and then smile at the baby and say, “Oops, the baby farts, so smelly and smelly oh!” But in fact, there is a lot to learn about baby farts, including the smell and sound, are easy to ignore in the mother’s daily life. Today, I will give a small lesson to the mother to explain the health signs of this stinky fart not loud. I. Three types of baby farts 1, stinky farts: farting or burping incessantly, and sour smell This is a sign of indigestion in babies, you should reduce the amount of milk, feed boiled water to reduce the intake of fat and high-protein foods, and adjust the food fed to thin some. Tip: The most content of smelly farts is nitrogen, accounting for about 80%, followed by carbon dioxide, accounting for 2%-19%, and hydrogen, methane, oxygen, etc. The total number of these odorless gases accounts for 99%. Therefore, in most cases, babies’ farts do not smell bad, but when a mother smells her baby’s fart, she should observe whether her baby has indigestion such as stinky farts, hiccups and sour smell, etc. If so, she should reduce her baby’s food intake, especially the intake of fat and high protein food. The possible reasons for the formation of stinky farts Mom can carefully check whether the baby’s feeding method is appropriate: 1, artificially fed babies choose a formula containing more protein. For example, babies aged 0-6 months should choose a formula that is appropriate for their age. If you choose a formula for 1-3 years old, because the protein content of the formula at this stage is higher than that of the 0-6 months stage, the intake of too much protein can cause indigestion and make your baby emit fart. 2, has added supplementary food baby, the intake of too much starchy food (such as rice flour, porridge, etc.), into the intestinal tract in the process of digestion and decomposition of more gas, smelly farts on more. In addition, add too much meat, eggs, beans food, protein in the process of digestion will produce more ammonia, resulting in smelly farts constantly. When eating foods that contain irritating odors such as garlic, onions and leeks, it can also make your baby fart badly. Other conditions: 1. It may be a precursor to stool. When the baby formed stool is difficult to solve, intestinal peristalsis increases, it will expel the gas in the intestinal tract, usually stinky farts. As intestinal peristalsis continues to strengthen, after the discharge of stool, the baby will no longer fart. 2, in addition, when the gastrointestinal tract bleeding, blood in the intestinal cavity stagnation; or intestinal inflammation (such as bacillary dysentery, amoebic dysentery, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhagic small intestinal infections, etc.), the gas expelled from the anus, due to the decomposition of bacteria is often more fishy. 2, empty farts: intermittent non-stop farts, but no odor This is mostly caused by hunger-induced increased intestinal peristalsis after the emptying of the stomach and intestines. At this time also often hear bursts of intestinal sounds, this situation is the baby is hungry, should be fed in a timely manner. Tips: Usually, the intestinal flora ratio is appropriate and the intestinal tract functions normally. Occasionally, there are more gas-producing bacteria in the intestine or more gas is produced during the digestion and decomposition of food in the intestine, the baby will fart from time to time, the sound of farts can be light, loud, but the farts are not smelly. At this time, the mother should pay attention to whether the baby is hungry and should be fed in time. At the same time, the mother can carefully check whether the baby feeding method is appropriate: 1. Some breastfeeding mothers feel that the front milk is thin and easy to digest, so they only suck the front milk for the baby. In fact, the first half of breast milk is not the same as the second half. The first half of milk has more protein and lactose, and the second half has more fat, so if you only eat the front milk, the protein and lactose will soon enter the intestines through the stomach, and the bacteria in the intestines will produce too much gas by decomposing the incompletely digested protein and lactose. Therefore, when the baby farts too much, the nursing mother should let the baby finish eating the milk of one breast and then eat the other side. 2, the baby may have eaten too much air in the process of sucking milk is another important cause of baby farts. Breastfed babies may inhale more air if they do not have the right breast milk, only the mother’s nipple, not most of the areola, or if the feeding posture is not correct; artificially fed babies, if the bottle is not completely inverted and the milk does not fill the nipple, will also make the baby suck the milk while the air will be inhaled; in addition, the baby cries when eating, while eating, the air will also enter the stomach with the milk. 3, more farts: more farts more stools This is often due to the baby eat more starchy food caused by high, then should reduce the amount of starchy food, appropriate increase protein, fatty food. Some mothers find that their babies bring out a small amount of stool when they let out a series of farts. Under normal circumstances, breastfed babies, with the increase in intestinal peristalsis, will fart with a small amount of slightly diluted stool. This is because breast-fed babies have more frequent and slightly thinner stools, artificially fed babies this situation is less common. Other factors are: baby eating too much, incomplete digestion of food; intestinal virus, bacterial infection; intestinal flora imbalance, etc., so that the baby’s stool increased, mixed with the fart, thin stool or with mucus and blood. Second, the baby farts a lot of reasons, the mother knows a few? Excessive milk syndrome: characterized by crying while sucking milk, farting and abdominal colic. The reason is that when the baby consumes a lot of foremilk and less hind milk containing fatty acids, the stomach empties quickly and excretes excess lactose into the intestines, which leads to increased intestinal fermentation and colic symptoms. The baby should be fed milk on only one side at a time, and then only after 1.5-2 hours on the other side. Stimulating ingredients in the mother’s diet: Lactating mothers should refrain from eating large amounts of fruit, fruit juices, coffee, yeast, certain fish, peanuts, peanut butter, and some gas-producing vegetables such as beans, cabbage, and onions. The baby wants to defecate: there is another possibility that the baby wants to defecate, then the fart is also a signal of the baby defecation, there is a jingle saying: the wind in the rain head, farts in the head of the shit, that is, people in the defecation before the inevitable fart, according to this point the new mother can put a baby in time, so that the baby defecate, so you do not have to worry about washing an extra pair of pants or waste a diaper problem.
