Question
A 45-day-old baby has been experiencing particularly frequent flatulence over the past two days. The baby twists and farts continuously before going to sleep at 5 am each morning. The baby had constipation a few days ago and now has diarrhea upon waking, occurring about ten times a day.
Answer
For a 45-day-old baby, continuous flatulence may be a symptom of catching a cold or dyspepsia. It is recommended to keep the baby’s abdomen warm, avoid cold compresses, and, if necessary, take oral probiotics. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should also avoid overly cold or greasy foods. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish you and your baby health.
