What should I do if my baby has dry stool after eating milk powder?

Many babies now mainly feed on milk powder. Children who feed on milk powder are prone to getting inflamed, which is also the biggest headache for many mothers. After the baby gets inflamed, the main manifestation is usually eye mucus, and then constipation will occur. This is also a particularly uncomfortable thing for the baby. What should I do if the baby has dry stools after eating milk powder? Let’s learn more about it through the following introduction.

The biggest headache for mothers is that babies who drink milk powder get angry. Many babies are prone to symptoms of getting angry when they first start drinking milk powder, such as dry and hard stools, yellow urine and other common phenomena, and even constipation. Some babies also have red spots on their faces. There are several reasons why babies get angry: Dietary factors cause "irritation", such as the intake of high-protein foods such as milk powder, rice paste, and fresh milk. If the normal proportions are not followed when mixing milk powder, it will be too concentrated and cause food stagnation and internal heat in the baby; if there is no proper amount of water added, it is also easy to cause internal heat in the baby; in addition, the intake of fried foods such as potato chips and biscuits, or the weather in the area is hot or humid, and the water quality is hot, which can also easily cause internal heat in the baby. It should be noted that the baby's stomach and intestines are still in the development stage. Excessive intake of high-protein milk powder will be difficult to digest and will increase the burden on the baby's gastrointestinal digestion, making food accumulation and inflammation inevitable.

If your baby is suffering from internal heat, reduce the amount of milk you feed him appropriately. Babies who drink milk powder generally need to add some boiled water half an hour before meals, about 1/2 of the amount of milk. Specifically: 30 ml in the first week after birth; 45 ml in the second week; 50-60 ml after 1 month; 60-75 ml at 3 months; 70-80 ml at 4 months; 80-100 ml at 6 months; 100-120 ml at 8-12 months (excerpted from Parenting Network, Parenting Forum). At the same time, you can also add appropriate complementary foods. It is best to chop spinach, cabbage, green vegetables, shepherd's purse, etc., put them into rice porridge and cook them together to make vegetable porridge for your baby. The large amount of cellulose and other food residues contained in vegetables can promote intestinal peristalsis and achieve the purpose of laxative.

When a baby who is fed with milk powder gets internal heat, he will have dry stools, yellow urine, bad breath, mouth ulcers, restless sleep at night, and constant crying, and increased eye mucus when he wakes up in the morning, etc., it is recommended that the mother feed the baby some San Gongzai Children's Seven Star Tea, which is a product specially designed for babies to reduce internal heat. Its ingredients, hawthorn and rice sprouts, can help aid digestion, strengthen the spleen and prevent food accumulation and fever. Coix seeds can clear away heat and dampness, while light bamboo leaves can clear heart fire and promote urination. Heat can be discharged through the stool, and it is very effective in treating babies' internal heat.

Through the above introduction, we now understand what to do if the baby gets constipated after eating milk powder. When we take care of the baby, we must pay attention to prevent the baby from getting angry. This will not only affect the baby's normal development, but also cause harm to the baby's body. It is important to give the baby more water.
