What should my baby’s dirty nappies look like?

It is normal for babies to pass gas frequently, and the frequency can vary greatly from baby to baby. On average, healthy babies can pass gas anywhere from several times a day to several times an hour. This can be due to a variety of reasons such as swallowing air while feeding, the digestive process, or the buildup of gas in the intestine. Passing gas is a natural process, and it is usually not a cause for concern unless it is accompanied by other symptoms such as persistent crying, distress, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel movements. In such cases, it is best to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying health issues. In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to help your baby pass gas more comfortably, such as burping them after feeding, gently massaging their belly, or gently exercising their legs. However, always consult with your pediatrician before trying any new remedies or techniques to relieve gas.
