What is the reason why the baby always farts but doesn't poop?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Full Moon
Condition Description: My daughter has been 34 days old since birth and has been mixed feeding. She has been passing very smelly gas consistently. She has a bowel movement once a day, with the stool being sticky and viscous, similar to her gas, which is also very smelly. Previously, her stool was golden yellow, but recently she has been having green, sticky stools with a significant amount. However, each time she has a bowel movement, she looks very strained, with her face flushed red and crying deeply. Her legs kick rapidly, and she also cries when passing gas, appearing to strain hard. When she is not asleep, she needs to be changed every 10 minutes, and each time she cries intensely. When she is asleep, she does not need to be changed, and if she sleeps soundly, she wakes up every 2 hours without crying. She has tried four or five different types of milk powder since birth, but none of them seemed to cause her to have a bowel movement.

Doctor's answer:

Your child's condition is considered to be caused by indigestion. Since the baby has just completed one month, the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract is not yet fully developed. Therefore, excessive eating or irregular eating habits can lead to digestive dysfunction. The patient may experience symptoms such as diarrhea, increased bowel sounds, and reduced appetite. Due to indigestion, food cannot be digested and absorbed properly, so an acid odor may be detected when the baby passes gas. It is recommended to actively treat and prevent the condition.
It is suggested that you control your baby's food intake and temporarily adopt a small amount of food, multiple meals approach. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm and avoiding exposure to cold. Take the baby outdoors more often for activities and expose them to sunlight. Appropriately add complementary foods such as vegetable soup, fruit juice, and vitamin AD capsules. Oral administration of Bifidobacterium can also be considered to regulate the imbalance of intestinal flora. I hope my answer provides you with some help.
