Question
The newborn baby I just had is always farting. Is this normal?
Answer
Hello, your baby may be experiencing dyspepsia. Dyspepsia is often caused by an unbalanced diet or poor eating habits. Sometimes, a zinc deficiency can also be a contributing factor. To improve this situation, it is recommended to increase the proportion of vegetables in your baby’s diet, consume meat and eggs in moderation, as excessive intake may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to poor digestion and absorption. At the same time, avoid fussy eating and try to maintain a regular mealtime. During an episode, you can give your baby some digestive aids such as children’sJianpi San and children’s Stomach-Healthy Digestive Tablets , as well as medications to promote gastrointestinal motility. Additionally, supplementing with gluconate zinc and multivitamin tablets can also be helpful. Remember to keep your baby warm to prevent catching a cold. Wishing your baby good health and happiness!
