Question
Why do breastfeeding babies fart more?
Answer
This may be due to the baby’s digestive system not being fully developed or the baby being intolerant to certain components in breast milk, which leads to increased intestinal peristalsis and more frequent flatulence. This situation usually improves as the baby grows. Sometimes, baby farts may be related to bloating, which can be relieved by gently massaging the baby’s abdomen, reducing the amount of milk, or burping the baby after feeding. If the problem persists or is accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
