My 9month baby keeps on farting. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let it pass: Infants fart because they either ingest excessive air with feedings & don't burp it out well, or their body makes excess gas. Gas production is related to bacterial action on undigested food coursing through the intestines. Neither issue is worth worrying about. Infants are not known for their social graces and i would relax & let the kid rip a few as needed.
