2、 What reason may cause baby's flatulence?
1. Physiological factors: gastrointestinal function is not mature
The baby is young, the digestive system of the gastrointestinal tract is immature, and the lactase content in the small intestine is insufficient. When formula milk or breast milk is fed, lactose enters the large intestine before being fully digested in the small intestine. In the digestive tract, lactose is fermented through the action of intestinal bacteria and other digestive enzymes, which makes the bad bacteria producing gas proliferate and form gas.
2. Daily factors: excessive air consumption and flatulence during lactation
① Pure breastfeeding: breastfeeding mothers eat too much easy to produce gas food, the baby is prone to flatulence after breast milk;
② Formula feeding: the size of the nipple hole of the milk bottle is not appropriate, and it is easy to inhale air when drinking milk;
③ Baby crying: also easy to swallow air.
3、 To relieve the baby's flatulence, try these methods
1. Belch after feeding
After feeding the baby, belch in time (the belch is the gas in the stomach). There are three ways to burp:

② Sitting style: place the baby on the mother's leg, hold the baby's head with one hand, and support the head with the other hand in a hollow shape from the bottom to the top, gently pat the back;
③ Prone: put your baby's head on her mother's legs in a half prone position, with one hand protecting her head, and the other hand in a hollow shape from bottom to top, pat her back gently.
2. Warm towel and warm stomach
