Baby drinking milk powder stool has milk curd

Generally speaking, the color and nature of the stool of babies who are exclusively breastfed and babies who are formula-fed are usually different. Since the babies are relatively young and cannot speak yet, parents need to observe them carefully. If the baby's stool contains curds, it is mostly due to abnormalities in the baby's gastrointestinal health. You can give the baby some probiotics to regulate the stomach.

What is the reason for milk curds in baby's stool after drinking milk powder?

1. In infancy, the digestive organs are not yet fully developed and the digestive adaptability is poor. There are many reasons for indigestion caused by improper diet and feeding.

For example, irregular feeding resulting in excessive feeding, unreasonable diet composition, too high milk concentration or sudden changes in diet, inability to adapt to the addition of too much complementary food, and too high nutritional value of food during weaning period will make the infant's digestive organs unable to adapt, resulting in indigestion and abnormal stools.

2. Milk powder is not as easy to digest as breast milk, so some fat or protein may not be fully digested.

After saponification, the fat combines with excess calcium in the body, and the unabsorbed part forms something like "milk lumps". This is normal. Because children have weak digestive abilities, the milk powder must be mixed in proportion, and the concentration cannot be too high. By following the correct method to transfer milk, you can improve the situation by giving your baby small, frequent meals.

What to do if there are milk curds in the newborn's stool

1. The condition of breast-fed babies may be related to the mother’s diet and the imperfect development of the baby’s digestive tract.

If the baby's height and weight growth is normal, the mother does not need to worry too much. She should increase the amount of boiled water given to the baby appropriately, massage the baby's abdomen after feeding, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements. If necessary, give the baby some probiotics under the doctor's advice and guidance.

2. For breastfed babies, mothers should try to reduce the protein intake in their food, that is, eat less high-protein food.

Babies who are fed mixed or bottle-fed formula milk should switch to formula milk with small molecule hydrolyzed protein to improve their indigestion of large molecule milk protein in ordinary milk powder.

When a newborn baby who is fed with milk powder has milk curds after defecation, if you observe the newborn's spirit and find that he or she is not irritable or crying, then in this case, it is generally believed that the milk powder is a bit thick and not easy to digest. If combined with other symptoms, such as foamy stools and loose stools, it is necessary to consider whether the newborn has diarrhea.
