Baby has diarrhea and yellow foam

It is very important to check whether the newborn's stool is normal. If the baby has loose stools with yellow foamy stool, you should pay attention to the baby's gastrointestinal diseases. On the one hand, the baby has indigestion, which is related to the immature digestive function, and parents need to make adjustments in feeding. On the other hand, you should be alert to the occurrence of enteritis. It may also be due to environmental problems that cause the baby's stomach to get cold.

What is the cause of the yellow foam in the baby's stool?

1. Indigestion. If there is foam in the baby's stool, it means that the baby's digestive function is not very good. For example, if there are too many food residues in the stool, the bacteria in the intestines will ferment and produce gas, which will cause foam.

2. Enteritis. If your baby is suffering from diarrhea and is crying continuously and is not in a good mental state, it is possible that there is a problem with his stomach and intestines.

3. Dietary influence. If the mother eats too cold or raw food, the baby may have diarrhea.

4. The stomach gets cold. A cold stomach can easily cause diarrhea and foamy stools.
