A while ago, I chatted with my neighbor's treasure mother and said that her baby was particularly prone to flatulence. She has to hold her breath every time she farts. Sometimes her face is still red, and her body twists until she farts.
In fact, mothers often encounter this situation when taking care of their babies. Babies often growl because of flatulence, lose appetite and cry. Want to solve the baby's flatulence, mother should understand that there are two kinds of flatulence: flatulence and flatulence.
Generally, flatulence is caused by inhaling air when nursing and crying, and not discharging excess air in time. Flatulence can easily cause the baby to spill milk and spit milk. The best solution to this situation is to burp the baby every time after breastfeeding.
How to clap a milk burp? Method one. After nursing, let the baby sit on the mother's lap, and then pat the baby's back with the arched palm from bottom to top until the baby burps, which can help the baby to expel excess air from the stomach.
Method two. Or put a small towel on the shoulder first, then put the baby upright, lie flat on the shoulder, hold the baby with one hand, and pat the baby's back with the other hand from bottom to top until it burps.
Flatulence is generally caused by gas decomposition when food is digested in the intestine, such as indigestion in the baby. The baby's stomach is weak, so it is easy to happen. The best way to solve flatulence is to let the baby fart.
How to help the baby fart? 1. Abdominal massage.
Mothers can apply some massage oil to their hands, rub their hands, then gently press on their baby's abdomen, massage their baby's navel clockwise, and let the baby discharge gas. You can do it twice a day for about ten minutes each time.
2. airplane hug.
Mom and dad can usually hug the baby by plane, that is, put the baby on the arm, hold the baby with the elbow through the baby's abdomen, and help the baby with the other hand. Usually, you can also let your baby lie down more, which will help increase abdominal pressure and help gas discharge.
3. Do exhaustive exercise.
Exhausting exercises for the baby can also help to exhaust, such as holding the baby's calf, bending the baby's leg above the stomach, and pressing it down with proper force to help the baby expel gas (fart) from the intestine. This action is equivalent to your baby riding a bike. However, this action is not the only one in exhaustive exercise. Mom and dad can learn, which is very useful.
Note: When doing these actions, be sure to wait for the baby to eat for half an hour.
At the same time, the baby has flatulence during lactation. Mothers should pay attention to diet and eat less food that will produce more gas, which can also alleviate the baby's flatulence imagination.
So, what food is easy to flatulence during lactation? The above are the dishes that lactating mothers should try to avoid. Others are edible and will not easily cause flatulence.
In fact, besides mom's diet, there are some small details to pay attention to: 1. Make sure the baby's breastfeeding posture is correct.
Some novice mothers don't know how to breastfeed, especially when the baby is breastfeeding. They think it's enough as long as the baby has nipples. This won't work. Be sure to let the baby put the whole areola in his mouth.
2. Don't feed the baby when it is crying.
It is easy for a baby to inhale too much air when crying, so it is easy for the baby to flatulence. Therefore, mothers should remember not to breast-feed their babies when they are crying. If the baby is crying, it can be coaxed before feeding.
3. Use a proper nipple for your baby.
Babies may sometimes use bottles, but the size of nipple holes used by babies of different months is different. When using a bottle, you must pay attention to the use of a suitable nipple. And if there is only a little milk left in the bottle, don't give it to the baby to avoid inhaling too much air.
Bauer also had flatulence in the second month, but she also used many methods. I feel that the most effective thing is the exhaust exercise. The baby will keep farting every time and will keep farting after finishing.
Babies within three months are prone to flatulence, so if the baby cries, parents must observe whether the baby has flatulence. If there is, don't worry too much. Take good care of the children.
After Dabao was born, her mother-in-law waited on the baby. I especially like tofu at ordinary times. But my mother-in-law cooked tofu dishes for me three times and told her that she wanted to eat tofu. My mother-in-law just refused me: don't feed the child so much tofu, the child is prone to bloating.
At that time, I didn't have any parenting experience, and my mother-in-law said whatever she wanted. Then I asked a friend who was a pediatrician. She said: improper diet during lactation does lead to flatulence (that is, flatulence we often say here), but the cause of flatulence is not just the diet of mothers.
The reason for the baby's flatulence is that the baby's digestion and absorption function is not perfect, and flatulence is a very easy situation, especially for the baby under three months. When flatulence occurs, many babies' stomachs will bulge and cry because of flatulence. The main causes of flatulence are as follows:
Inhale too much air.
When the baby is breastfeeding, if the posture of breastfeeding is improper or eating too fast, it may cause air to enter the baby's stomach with the milk, causing flatulence, especially for the baby who eats the bottle. This reason will be more; On the other hand, if the baby cries too much at ordinary times, it will also inhale a lot of air and produce flatulence;
There is something wrong with the milk.
The temperature of formula milk is too low, or the wet nurse eats cold food that is easy to make the baby flatulence, which will affect the baby's digestion and absorption and cause flatulence;
The baby has a cold stomach.
Improper care of the baby will lead to cold in the abdomen, which will make the baby's stomach cold and produce flatulence;
The baby's own problems
Babies who eat formula milk themselves have problems such as lactose intolerance and digestive tract diseases, and are also prone to flatulence.
What should the baby do with flatulence? There are several reasons for the baby's flatulence, and the mother should find the right reason to prescribe the right medicine, which will take effect faster.
Feeding and nursing
For babies who eat formula milk, it is necessary to avoid low milk temperature, and lactating mothers also need to pay attention to diet and try not to eat food that is easy to cause flatulence;
For the daily care of the baby, we must do a good job of keeping the baby warm, especially to avoid the baby's abdomen from catching cold;
If the baby has physical problems, take the baby to see a doctor in time.
Help the baby to vent.
It is normal for the baby to inhale other things in the stomach, so it is very important to help the baby exhaust.
Hiccup after breastfeeding
Method 1: Hold the baby upright, let the baby lie on the mother's shoulder, hold the baby with one hand, and pat the baby's back with the other hand in a hollow shape from bottom to top until the baby burps;
Method 2: After the baby eats milk, he often sucks some air into his stomach, and the baby burps can effectively eliminate the air. Practice: the baby sits on the mother's lap, and the mother presses her hand on the baby's back in a hollow shape, and then slaps the baby's back from bottom to top until the baby burps;
Method 3: Let the baby lie on the mother's leg, face down, and the mother will hold the baby's head and neck with one hand and lift it, then pat the baby's back with the other hand until the baby burps.
Abdominal massage
Let the baby lie on the bed, the mother warms her hands, and then gently draw a circle clockwise along the baby's navel, which can help the baby to expel excess gas from the stomach.
Exhaust operation
Hold the baby's ankles and calves, and let the baby alternately press his legs to the abdomen like pedaling a bicycle, repeating 8 times;
Hold the baby's ankles and calves, let the baby's knees bend, and press the thighs to the stomach for 2 seconds, repeating 8 times;
Hold the calf of the baby's ankle, keep the baby's knee upright, then lift it and press it to the stomach, repeat 8 times.
The diet of lactating mothers Many mothers have various taboos during pregnancy, but after the child is born, they immediately start to eat and drink. In fact, many common foods in life can cause flatulence, so lactating mothers should pay more attention to:
Food prone to flatulence
Bean products: all kinds of beans, bean sprouts, tofu, even soybean milk and dried beans;
Broccoli vegetables: Broccoli and cabbage are easy to cause flatulence;
Irritating food: pepper;
High starch food: potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and other foods can also cause flatulence;
Foods high in sugar and oil: fried foods and various sweets will produce flatulence when digested in the body;
Radish: Needless to say, drinking radish soup after caesarean section has a good exhaust effect.
Mother should not eat these foods during lactation, and also should not eat cold food (cold drinks, watermelons, etc.). ) and foods that are easy to cause baby allergies (mango, pineapple, etc.). Others can eat some milk-made foods such as loofah, day lily, lettuce and papaya.
Hello, I'm Ma, the nurse. I'm glad to answer your question.
The baby's stomach is delicate, especially the breast-fed baby. If the breastfeeding mother does not pay attention to diet, the baby is also prone to flatulence. Therefore, lactating mothers should pay attention to which foods will cause flatulence in their daily lives and avoid excessive consumption. This will bring discomfort to the baby.
What are the foods that easily cause flatulence in the baby? 1, high starch food
Nursing mothers should eat less or not eat radish, potato, sweet potato, taro, pumpkin, chestnut and other foods rich in starch, sugar and cellulose.
2. Bean food
Bean products (including tofu, soybean milk, tofu brain, etc.) contain many anti-nutritional factors. ), two of which are related to gastrointestinal tract. Bean foods such as lentils, soybeans and peas are rich in protein, but they contain sugar and fiber that the human body can't absorb, which easily leads to flatulence. Breastfeeding mothers should eat less, and it is best to eat with digestible whole grain foods such as rice and quinoa when they want to eat.
3. Cruciferae vegetables
Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage contain a complex carbohydrate called trisaccharide, which is more difficult to be absorbed by the human body than other kinds of sugar. When it is difficult to be absorbed in the intestine, it will produce gas and cause flatulence. These vegetables are in an undigested state before fermentation, which is easy to produce gas and then easily cause flatulence. Breastfeeding mothers should eat less or not.
4. Salty food
A high sodium diet can cause edema and flatulence. Soup, bread and other processed foods are mostly high in salt content, and lactating mothers should eat less. If they eat, it is recommended to drink more water to help eliminate excess salt in the body.
What are the reasons for baby flatulence? 1, the baby inhales air during sucking and swallowing.
2. After feeding, the baby doesn't burp in time, and besides spilling milk and spitting milk, it is also prone to flatulence. Give the baby a correct feeding posture, reduce the baby's air intake, burp in time after feeding, reduce the air entering the body and relieve flatulence.
3. Infants' intestinal digestive system is immature, and lactose in breast milk is not fully digested in the intestine, and fermentation produces acid and gas.
4. Breastfeeding mothers eat too many foods that are easy to produce gas, and breastfeeding babies will also flatulence.
What foods should mothers pay attention to during breastfeeding? 1. Eating cruciferous plants will aggravate the baby's flatulence. Mother should eat less food such as cabbage and cauliflower during lactation.
2, malt in malted milk essence will inhibit breast milk secretion, and lactating mothers should eat less.
3, hawthorn, leeks, ginseng and other foods will also cause breast milk to decrease, so try to eat less.
4. Fruits such as watermelon, grapefruit and kiwi in summer season are all cold foods, and excessive consumption by lactating mothers will cause baby diarrhea.
5, spicy, irritating foods such as pepper, fennel, wine and so on. Will reduce milk secretion, will cause maternal constipation, unfavorable to the baby's development.
6. Fried and pickled foods are not suitable for lactating mothers.
7. Chocolate, coffee, tea, etc. Lactating mothers should not eat or eat less.
8. Foods with high sugar content such as candy and milk tea should not be eaten by mothers. Sugar enters the baby's body with breast milk and ferments in the baby's intestine to produce gas, which can also lead to flatulence.
In addition to the above foods, what other substances should lactating mothers avoid? 1, acidic food, easy to get angry, lactation food should be light.
2, seafood, such as shrimp, crab, to avoid the baby allergic to seafood and heavy metals affect the baby's health, but crucian carp, snakehead and so on. Help to milk, and mother can still eat.
3, alcohol and carbonated drinks, alcohol easily enters the baby through breast milk, causing the baby's alcohol allergy. Carbonated drinks can inhibit the absorption of calcium, which has a great influence on both mother and baby.
What are the methods to prevent the baby from flatulence? 1, give the baby the right milk powder.
When making milk powder, shake it as gently as possible until the milk powder dissolves slowly. If it shakes, let the bottle stand for a while. The milk temperature is not lower than 38 and not higher than 40, and the baby is fed in strict accordance with the proportion of milk powder.
2. Pay attention to breastfeeding during breastfeeding.
Don't wait for the baby to be hungry before feeding. Don't let your baby eat too fast when feeding, and avoid inhaling too much air. If it is bottle feeding, pay attention to the nipple hole is not too big, and replace the baby with a suitable nipple in time.
3. pat more after feeding.
Whether breastfeeding or milk powder feeding, you should hold your baby upright and burp after the end.
4. Let the baby lie down more.
Let the baby lie flat 1-2 times during the day, about 5 minutes each time. Parents can massage the baby's back to promote intestinal peristalsis, which can alleviate or prevent flatulence. When the baby is crying, you can also let the baby lie on the chest of the adult, and the adult leans on the sofa to relieve the baby's abdominal discomfort.
5, to avoid the baby catching cold
When changing diapers, parents should move skillfully to avoid exposing the baby's navel and bathe the baby every day. It is suggested that the bath water temperature should be 38-40 degrees and the time should not exceed 15 minutes. Ensure the indoor temperature, between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius. When the weather turns wet and cold in the south, you can turn on the air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature.
6. Breast-feeding mothers should pay attention to balanced nutrition.
It is normal for a baby to have flatulence. Can help the baby excrete in time, don't worry too much. However, mothers should pay attention to the diversity of diet. If there is too much sugar in breast milk, the sugar will be over-fermented in the baby's stomach, which will easily lead to flatulence and frothy stool. At this time, lactating mothers should pay attention to controlling their sugar intake.
7. Give your baby probiotics according to your doctor's advice.
When the baby has indigestion, it is easy to cause flatulence. Appropriate amount of probiotics can be taken under the doctor's arrangement, which can effectively improve the baby's intestinal health, improve digestion ability and avoid indigestion and diarrhea.
Does the baby have any abnormal flatulence and need to see a doctor in time? 1, baby's abdominal distension complicated with vomiting, poor appetite (less than half of daily life and less and less), anemia, weight loss, etc. In severe cases, even fever and bloody stool appear.
2, the baby's stomach can't be touched, and it will hurt or cry when you touch the baby.
3. The baby's breathing becomes rapid.
4, the baby's abdomen can touch hard things such as lumps.
In fact, whether adults, children or babies have flatulence or not, there will be a relative process. In this process, parents should pay attention to all aspects to avoid flatulence. As the baby gets older, flatulence will naturally decrease, so parents don't have to worry too much.
Hello, first of all, try to eat light food during lactation, don't eat too greasy and cold food, such as melon, towel gourd and other melons are cold, don't eat leeks and malt that are easy to return to milk, while cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower are easy to cause flatulence, so avoid eating them. You can eat lettuce and milk. Spring vegetables and spinach are both warm and not cold. I eat a lot of these dishes in confinement, and most of them are edible. Hu Aishan and yam can nourish the spleen and stomach, and can be used to cook porridge or soup. In fact, as long as the nutrition is balanced, don't eat those foods that are cold and flatulent. If the baby has flatulence, it is usually necessary to help him pat his back and burp when he is eating well. You can also help children do more exhaust exercise and massage their abdomen. I just help my baby to do exhaust exercises, which is very useful. Usually he farts after he finishes, and the effect is good.
The flatulence of the baby is manifested as blushing when farting, making fists clenched, kicking, bending knees, making noises in the stomach, burping, refusing to drink milk or eat, having a big or tight stomach and crying at the same time.
The baby has flatulence because there is too much gas in his stomach. If breastfeeding, it may be related to the mother's diet. For example, the mother eats gas-producing food, sour food and a lot of dairy products, but the mother's diet is not the only reason for the baby's flatulence. If fed with milk powder, it may react to milk powder and cause food intolerance. The more common reason is that too much gas is inhaled when breastfeeding, so if breastfeeding, make sure there is no gap between the breast and the child's mouth.
For breastfeeding mothers, eat less dairy products and some gas-producing vegetables, such as broccoli and beans.
Eating less does not mean not eating, because dairy products and beans are foods with high nutritional value, especially dairy products. If you don't eat or eat very little, your mother will eat something else instead. Those that can replace dairy products, such as soybean milk, are also foods with high gas production.
The methods that can be taken depend on the child's situation. If the child has no flatulence, there is no need to avoid eating. If the child has flatulence, avoid eating properly. If a kind of food is reduced one by one, and the taboo has not changed, it means that it is not the relationship of this kind of diet, and the original intake can be restored. It's a way to cross the river by feeling the stones, not a way to kill a thousand by mistake.
Breastfeeding mothers should eat more digestible fruits and vegetables, such as melons, radishes, carrots, yams and pumpkins. And eat less greasy and indigestible, spicy and carbonated drinks. If the baby has flatulence, massage the baby's abdomen clockwise; Or put your four fingers together on your baby's back and kidneys, put your thumb on your abdomen, and slowly rush from top to bottom to help exhaust.
Let me talk about my baby for your reference.
My baby started flatulence about two months ago and will wake up regularly. When he is awake, he will complain, push hard and want to fart. I usually have ordinary breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eat steamed stuffed bun, milk or bread in the morning, boiled eggs, one dish and one soup at noon and noodles at night. I didn't deliberately avoid anything, but I saw on the Internet that I ate less beans. I saw a doctor and prescribed Simo soup and probiotics, but it didn't work, so I stopped eating.
This situation lasted for several weeks, and the baby was naturally much better than before, and he didn't play much. The baby is older and has a developed stomach. These situations will naturally disappear.
I can only say that I am cooking now. It is very useful to give your baby more exhaust exercise at ordinary times.
Some precious mothers get flatulence after feeding their babies. The reason for the baby's flatulence comes from breast milk, which has a lot to do with what Ma Bao usually eats. But many treasure moms don't know why the baby is flatulent, so treasure moms don't know how to feed the baby. So, what does the baby eat when breastfeeding?
What does breast-feeding baby eat without flatulence?
1, breastfeeding, mothers should check their diet and avoid eating beans, cauliflower and spicy food. In addition, if there is too much sugar in breast milk, the sugar will be excessively fermented in the baby's stomach, which will easily lead to flatulence.
2, formula feeding, pay special attention when choosing milk powder, choose a formula that is lactose-free, soy-free or hypoallergenic, which may help relieve the child's stomach pain. However, it should be noted that even if the milk powder is changed, it will take at least two weeks to see the effect.
The fastest way to solve the baby's flatulence
If the baby has abdominal distension without severe or obvious vomiting and diarrhea, massage can be taken to help relieve it. First, warm your palm. You can rub it or put it there to cover it. After the palm is relatively warm, it can be placed around the baby's navel, and then gently massage the child clockwise. The general massage time is 10 to 15 minutes.
It is best not to eat vegetables that are too greasy to produce gas during lactation, and do more exhaust exercise.
Newborns often have flatulence for a month, ranging from indigestion to colic, and need to seek medical attention in time.
There are many reasons for flatulence in babies:
① Infants inhale air during sucking and swallowing. Comparatively speaking, infants who use bottles are more likely to inhale air when swallowing than breast-fed infants.
The baby did not burp in time after nursing. Besides spilling and spitting milk, he is prone to flatulence.
Taking the correct breast-feeding posture, reducing the baby's air intake and burping in time after breast-feeding can reduce the air entering the body and reduce flatulence.
(3) Infants' intestinal digestive system is immature, and lactose in breast milk is not fully digested in the intestinal tract, and acid and gas are produced by fermentation.
If the mother eats too much food that is easy to produce gas, the breast-fed baby will also have flatulence.
Breast milk is the most suitable food for babies within 6 months. In order to avoid flatulence caused by mother's diet, what food taboos does mother have during breastfeeding?
1. Studies show that eating cruciferous plants will aggravate the baby's flatulence, so mothers should eat less food such as cabbage and cauliflower during breastfeeding.
2, malt in malted milk essence will inhibit breast milk secretion, and lactating mothers should eat less.
3, hawthorn, leeks, ginseng and other substances will also cause breast milk recycling, and should be eaten as little as possible.
4. Watermelon, grapefruit, kiwifruit and other fruits are cool in midsummer, and excessive consumption by lactating mothers will cause baby diarrhea.
5, spicy, irritating food, such as pepper, fennel, wine and so on. It will reduce milk secretion and cause maternal constipation, which is very unfavorable for the baby's growth.
6. Fried and pickled foods are not suitable for lactating mothers.
7. Chocolate, coffee, tea, etc. Breastfeeding mothers should also not eat or eat less.
8. Foods with high sugar content such as candy and milk tea should not be eaten by mothers. Sugar enters the baby's body with breast milk and ferments in the baby's intestine to produce gas, which can also lead to flatulence.
In addition to taking the correct breastfeeding posture, burp in time; Mothers don't eat, eat less food that is easy to cause flatulence, and can also promote the baby's venting, relax the bowels and reduce flatulence by doing venting exercises for the baby.
The baby's exhaustive exercise should be carried out between two meals of milk. In the meantime, pay attention to the baby's warmth and don't have jewelry on your hands to avoid scratching your baby. If you only wear diapers to exhaust your baby, then it is best for your mother to pour oil such as Songda baby camellia oil on her hands, rub it while it is hot, and then touch your baby's skin to exhaust.
Infant exhaustive exercise steps:
Step 1: put your hand on your baby's abdomen and gently stroke it clockwise with the navel as the center. You can do it 5 to 10 times in a circle.
The second step: heart-to-heart. First, cover the baby's abdomen with your hands alternately, and touch it from top to bottom, and then touch it from top to bottom with your hands. Eight beats are taken as a group, and each beat is two groups. Before the next step, cover the baby's abdomen with a towel to avoid catching cold.
Step 3: Step on the mountain bike. First curl the baby's legs alternately to the abdomen, and at the same time curl the hind legs to the baby's abdomen. Take eight beats as a group and do two groups each.
Step 4: Touch your knees, put your baby's arms and knees together and make an eight-beat.
Step five, keep your legs vertical. Pick up the baby's leg, press it to the abdomen, and do eight beats.
If the baby has flatulence in the abdomen, the baby will fart or defecate after exercise. These are all good signs, mom, don't worry.
In addition to the above foods, what other substances should lactating mothers avoid?
1, acidic food, easy to get angry. Food should be light during breastfeeding.
2, seafood, such as shrimp, crab, to avoid the baby allergic to seafood and heavy metals affect the baby's health, but crucian carp, snakehead and so on. Help to milk, and mother can still eat.
3, alcohol and carbonated drinks, alcohol easily enters the baby through breast milk, causing the baby's alcohol allergy. Carbonated drinks can inhibit the absorption of calcium, which has a great influence on both mother and baby.
