Mothers may observe that their babies often fart while breastfeeding, causing them to wonder why their babies are experiencing this condition. They are worried that it may be due to discomfort. So, what's going on with babies farting while breastfeeding?
The reason why babies fart while breastfeeding is because they are still relatively young and their digestive system is not well-developed enough. Therefore, it is easy for the intestines to move together when feeding with a small mouth, resulting in the situation of exhaling while feeding. This is quite normal, so parents do not need to worry too much about this situation. As long as they pay attention to making the baby's position comfortable while feeding, they should not let gas enter the stomach while feeding.
In addition, after the baby is breastfed, try to lift the baby up smoothly and use hiccups to release the gas from the baby's body. This can avoid the situation where the baby's stomach is full of gas and always farts, as well as the occurrence of hiccups.
The occurrence of underdeveloped gastrointestinal system in babies will become less and less common as they grow up. Therefore, parents should pay attention to ensuring that their babies are nutritious and well absorbed when feeding and consuming complementary foods, so that their stomachs can gradually adapt and grow healthily, reducing the occurrence of flatulence after eating.
