Question

My baby is 45 days old, and recently, her belly has been rumbling, and she’s making loud farts. Is this a sign of constipation?

Answer

Based on your description, your baby’s rumbling belly and noisy farts might be symptoms of indigestion. It’s recommended to give your baby some probiotics to help improve the situation. Since your baby is being fed a mixture of breast milk and formula, it’s important to keep her diet light over the next few days and avoid over-nutritious foods. You can also try giving your baby some probiotic drinks or medication, as probiotics can help regulate imbalances in gut flora, which can lead to diarrhea and constipation. Wishing your baby good health.
