What should I do if my baby always has yellow water in his stool?

Children are delicate and need careful care of everything. Children's spleen, stomach, and lungs are particularly delicate, and most diseases originate from these two areas. We are very careful when feeding children. Children usually do not have complete teeth, so in addition to breast milk, we often feed them some vegetable puree and batter to ensure a balanced nutrition for them. However, babies still often have yellow watery stools.

If babies have watery diarrhea after adding complementary foods, it is because of gastrointestinal discomfort caused by improper food addition. At this time, the mother should first find out whether the baby has added any new complementary food on the day of diarrhea or in the previous two days. The baby's stomach is delicate, and any newly added complementary food may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and lead to diarrhea. After figuring it out, reduce the amount of complementary food by half and observe for two days. If the symptoms of diarrhea are relieved, then you can continue to eat the complementary food. If the symptoms are not relieved or even get worse, stop eating the complementary food immediately and observe. Decide whether to go to the hospital based on the situation. Babies with loose stools can eat more apples. The pectin in apples can effectively absorb the loose stools and make the stools firm.

How to care for babies with diarrhea and yellow watery stools

1. Let your baby drink more water. When babies have diarrhea, they take away most of the water in their bodies, so they are prone to lack of water or even dehydration. At this time, you must replenish enough water in time and do not replace it with fruit juice.

2. Breastfed babies must ensure sufficient milk. Mother's milk is the most natural food to protect the baby's stomach and intestines. Drinking milk in the mother's arms can also give the baby strength and a sense of security. At this time, the mother should hug the baby more and give him normal milk.

3. If the baby has diarrhea, it will repeatedly irritate the little butt. The mother must pay attention to the care of the little butt to prevent red buttocks. Every time the baby has diarrhea, it must be washed with warm water in time. If the redness and swelling are severe, wash it, let it dry naturally, and apply a special ointment for red buttocks.

4. Avoid the misuse and abuse of diarrhea medicines. The baby is too young to be given medicine for diarrhea.

5. Pay attention to the baby's temperature at ordinary times, and do not let the belly button get cold. Be sure to cover the belly button when sleeping at night.

6. During the period of diarrhea, you should not take a bath for too long to prevent catching a cold and aggravating the symptoms of diarrhea.

7. After your baby recovers from diarrhea, wait at least 20 days before going swimming again to prevent secondary diarrhea.

From the introduction in this article, you can know that if your baby has diarrhea and yellow watery stools, mothers must actively look for the cause of this problem, actively adjust the baby's diet, and take active measures to improve the baby's condition. At the same time, mothers must know how to take good care of their babies at this stage.
