1. Why does a 2-month-old baby have a lot of farts?
In the first few months after birth, the baby\’s digestion has not yet fully developed, and the intestinal flora has not yet formed a complete form. Therefore, the frequency and shape of the baby\’s defecation will be different. It is normal for a 2-month-old baby to have excessive farts. In addition, breastfed babies are more likely to poop and fart than bottle-fed babies.
2. What should I do if my 2-month-old baby has excessive gas?
1. Massage your baby: You can give your baby an abdominal massage and back massage when changing diapers to help promote intestinal peristalsis and gas discharge.
2. Rocking: Gently pick up the child, pat the child on the back or gently rock it to help expel gas accumulated in the intestines.
3. Change the feeding method: If breastfeeding, try to let the child eat foremilk to reduce the chance of swallowing air. If you are feeding artificially, you can try to keep the bottle upright.
4. Pay attention to your diet: If the mother is breastfeeding, she can try to eat as little gas-producing food as possible, such as beans, onions, garlic, etc.
