Does your baby fart a lot? There is a reason for whether something smells or not!

Babies may fart frequently. Sometimes it is a gentle sound but smells very bad, sometimes it is loud and harsh but does not smell bad, and sometimes it is accompanied by feces. This often makes parents worry whether their children have gastrointestinal problems.

1. Hollow fart or the child is hungry

If a mother hears a series of farts from her child that are not smelly, then these are hollow farts, which are actually the child's stomach and intestines becoming empty after passing food. When the stomach moves when hungry, it will naturally expel the air in the body, thus producing hollow farts. At this time, parents should pay attention to feeding their children. In addition, mothers should pay attention to whether the baby feels hungry quickly because the milk powder is diluted too much. If the baby is breastfed, the composition of the breast milk may have changed. In this case, mothers should let the baby finish the milk on one side before switching to the other side.

2. Farts with feces

If a child's farts contain stool, then the child most likely has diarrhea. This may be due to gastrointestinal indigestion and bacterial infection of the intestines, so the child will naturally come out with thin stool when farting. At this time, mothers should be careful not to feed their children cold and greasy food, and mothers who breastfeed should also pay attention to their diet to avoid causing diarrhea in their children.

3. Smelly farts or indigestion

If a child farts smelly, mothers should pay attention to whether the child has indigestion or needs to defecate. If the child farts shortly after feeding, then he is going to poop. However, if the child always farts, then the mother should pay attention that the child may be indigestion and eat too much. Pay attention to reducing the amount of food for the child, especially for children who have already started eating complementary foods. Pay attention to feeding them less greasy, high-fat food to avoid gastrointestinal indigestion.

4. Pay attention to your child’s physical changes

Children have a lot of farts and there are many types of them, which will reflect their physical condition accordingly, so parents should pay attention and prescribe the right medicine to see which one is caused by indigestion and which one is caused by eating too much, and adjust the feeding method in time to help the child return to normal and regain health.
