Why is the baby's stool loose? Feeding is so important

It is a common symptom for babies to have loose stools in life. Mothers do not need to worry too much. It may be caused by improper feeding. As long as the baby eats well, the abdomen is not bloated, and there is no excess water in the stool or separation of stool and water, it is not abnormal.

1. Children’s loose stools are mostly related to improper feeding of the baby.

2. Some babies' stools may contain milk curds or be green or watery. This is not a big deal and you should not think that the baby has indigestion or enteritis. As long as the baby is eating well, his abdomen is not bloated, and there is no excess water or separation of stool and water, it is not abnormal.

3. If the baby's stools are loose and green, the time interval between feedings is shortened, and he seems to be always hungry, it may be that there is insufficient breast milk. But do not add milk powder easily. Measure your body weight at the same time every day and record your daily weight gain. If your daily weight gain is less than 20 grams, or your weight gain in 5 days is less than 100 grams, try adding milk powder again. Observe whether the baby becomes quiet and whether the time to the next feeding is prolonged. If so, add milk powder once a day. If the weight has increased by more than 100 grams after 5 days, or even reaches 150-200 grams, it proves that insufficient breast milk has caused the loose and green stools. People say that children are straightforward and will poop as soon as they eat. The mother changes the baby's diaper cleanly, then picks up the baby to feed. Before the baby has taken a few bites, he or she defecates. The mother will think it is abnormal, and will give the baby medicine. In this situation, don't rush to change the baby's diaper, because changing the baby's diaper immediately will not only interrupt the baby's feeding, thus causing the baby to miss a meal; it will also cause the baby to spill the milk he just drank, aggravating the degree of milk spillage; in addition, it will increase the burden of care, so wait until the baby finishes feeding before changing the diaper.
