After the baby was born, there was a constant sound of porpoising farts. Grandma said it was the baby growing, and mom said it was the baby’s indigestion, so what’s going on? The reason for the farting is that the baby’s stomach and intestines are not mature enough to handle it. Reasons why babies fart a lot 1, due to the immaturity of infant gastrointestinal development, resulting in infant intestinal peristalsis is not coordinated, resulting in intestinal flatulence – tummy grumbling, exhaust more – fart a lot, which is a very normal phenomenon. 2, the baby to eat milk, the main component of milk is protein, is equivalent to adults always eat big fish and meat. Protein will produce gas when fermented in the intestine and stomach, so the baby often farts. 3, there is also a possibility that the baby sucked in part of the air when eating milk related, if the air sucked in, we have to expel it, so it becomes very will fart which is also very normal. Is it good for babies to fart a lot? In general, intestinal gas mainly comes from the gas swallowed and the gas produced in the digestive tract (especially by bacteria). In healthy babies, these gases can be reabsorbed or partially excreted after normal digestion. Some of the gases in the intestinal tract are eliminated through farting. “Farts are a type of waste gas that is expelled from the body through the anus. Healthy people fart a varying number of times a day, with a frequency of 6-20 farts per day. Nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and other gases produced by the bacterial decomposition of food residues in the intestinal tract are mainly expelled from the body by farting, which is beneficial to the human body and is also a normal physiological phenomenon. The largest component of fart is nitrogen, accounting for about 80%; followed by carbon dioxide, accounting for 2% to 19%; and hydrogen, methane, oxygen and so on. Of the above substances, odorless gas accounts for 99%. In addition, indigestion due to slow decomposition of food in the stomach and intestines, but also produces a lot of foul-smelling gas, discharged in stages, although not “loud”, but are very smelly. Farts Farting or farting with a sour odor is a sign of indigestion in babies. Countermeasures 1, if the formula milk feeding can be replaced by adding milk powder containing bifidus factor, bifidus factor in the gastrointestinal tract can be converted to bifidobacteria have inhibited the role of E. coli and promote the digestion and absorption of food. 2, if the baby is more than 1 year old, should reduce the amount of food, especially should reduce the fat and high protein food intake. Empty farts Intermittent non-stop farting, but no odor, mostly after gastrointestinal emptying, due to increased intestinal peristalsis caused by hunger. At this time, you can also often hear a burst of intestinal sounds, this situation is because the baby is hungry. Countermeasures 1, advocate breastfeeding, newborn babies should be breastfeeding on demand, the baby is hungry to feed, do not look at the time, but to look at the baby’s performance. 2. Older babies are sometimes playful and don’t eat, but their intestines and stomachs will make a fuss, so treat such babies by eating on time and adding snacks such as fruits and yogurt between meals to avoid hungry babies. Farting Because of eating gas-producing foods, such as groundnuts, onions, fava beans, peas, yams, etc., there will be farting. Countermeasures 1. Reduce the amount of gas-producing foods and combine grains, vegetables and fruits with each meal. 2. Advise your baby to chew and swallow slowly when eating to avoid eating too much air together. 3.Drink a cup of yogurt with probiotics every day, which has obvious improvement effect on intestinal flora. No farts If you don’t fart for a long time, it means the problem is serious. Especially if the newborn has not seen meconium for 24 hours after birth, check for anal atresia. If the baby is noisy and restless or has bouts of abdominal paroxysm and never farts or has any stool, parents should not take it lightly. If the baby vomits at the same time, the baby may have intestinal obstruction, intussusception or intestinal torsion. Countermeasures 1. After the baby is born, check the baby’s gas and bowel movement. 2.If there is no fart for a long time and the baby is crying, take the baby to the doctor.
