In one end and out the other

Filed under: — Aprille @ 9:05 am

Miles always has the best farts while he’s breastfeeding,  I had assumed it was because lying on his side was a good gas-escape position, or possibly because he just wanted to give me the pleasure of experiencing his farts while his butt is nearest my face, but last night I read that the sucking action stimulates intestinal contractions that push the gas through.

Babies are interesting.  Farts are interesting.  What’s not to love?

    I wonder at what point our physiology overcomes this reaction?

  2. My soon to be 10 year old daughter farted while we were reading in bed last night.

    Not so interesting anymore. Mighty stinky.
