Explosive farts from baby?

Question

olivia is 3 1/2 months and farts so loud and so often! they sound like adult arrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnntttttt farts! the gas doesnt make her fussy, i just cant believe these bombers come outta her...anybody else have a farting baby?

shes been on similac senstive almost from the start. are babies just always this gassy?

Answer 1

no thats not very normal. maybe its the bottle shes eating from, like shes swallowing too much air. or the food shes eating. babies should pass gas, but this much may mean that somethings wrong. but if shes not crying when it happens..shes probably fine..hehe (=

Answer 2

HAHAHAH that is such a great read. Awwwww :)

Answer 3

Hmm, LOL.  

I would check with the doctor to see if she's maybe not lactose intolerant or something.  I used to babysit a baby like that.  He was on soy formula.  

EDIT:  Normally I don't care how many "thumbs down" I get but this is a perfectly good suggestion.  It doesn't hurt to get her checked out for it, at least.  Unless this question was simply asked to get a bunch of people to tell you what you want to hear.....

The suggestion below me is awesome, too.  Maybe she DOES have too much gas in her bottle.  For disposable bottles anyway, take one finger and press in the bottom of the bag, and you'll hear an air noise coming out.  When milk begins to come out, then all the air is out of the bottle.

Answer 4

my son has some random farts here n there - its normal

better for them to let it out rather than holding it in

Answer 5

my son jaden is 4 months and one nite when he was about 1 1/2 months old i was in the living room on the computer and jaden and daddy were in bed tryin to go to sleep and then i heard the loudest f**t ever i hollered at his daddy and he said "that wasnt me that was jaden" i couldnt believe it but it was him. he does the same with burps.

he has adult sized farts and burps its soooooo funny. hes always been gassy but then again so are me and daddy soo?

Answer 6

my 2 month old son does the same thing and he is enfamil lipil the doctor told me it is completely normal. as long as she is not fussy she is getting rid of all that gas it will be fine  

Answer 7

as long as she isn't crying when she passes gas then I think she is good. thats good she  passes gas...if she didn't then she would be so uncomfortable.thats too funny how loud they are.

Answer 8

Mia is 4 months. She too has bombs going off in her rear end. She giggles everytime she shoots one. I think it's cute. As long as it dosent bother them I think it's ok.

Answer 9

Are you sure it's not your husband or boyfriend?:p

I think it should get better.  My son would wake up every morning for a while a greet us with a smile and lots of toots.  Not so much these days at 7 months.

Answer 10

Our daughter was on Similac Sensitive (now is on Parent's Choice Sensitivity; much cheaper and does fine with it). Anyway, she does get gas occasionally and when she does, WATCH OUT! She drops some bombs!

Answer 11

my son farts like a man. and it always seems to be in the most quiet places in public. people look at me like i did it.

Answer 12

LOL oh yes mine do too, the best thing is when you let one out you can always blame it on the baby :D

Just be happy that her gas is not sitting in her stomache which would not feel good, she's able to release it.  

Answer 13

Can you see the shockwave followin it and all that whatnotsbusiness?  Does she make you proud?

Answer 14

My son has been gassy since birth. It isnt painful for him it just seems to be how he is. Some come with a bowel movement others are just random. I think its normal my nurses didnt say anything about while I was in the hospital and he did it at the pediatricians office and she didnt say anything about it.
