Sour and smelly stool in children

The normal frequency of bowel movements is once a day. The child's health status can be judged by the daily bowel movements. If the child's stool is sour and smelly, it indicates indigestion. If the daily food is greasy and spicy, it will cause poor digestion and absorption in children. If you want to change this situation, you must pay attention to your child's daily diet and ensure that it is light, green and healthy, which is beneficial to your child's growth.

1. It may be caused by indigestion. If the baby is breastfed, it must be related to the mother. The mother should not eat too greasy and spicy food, and try to eat light food. If the baby is drinking formula milk, choose one with probiotics, which can help the baby regulate the stomach. Usually, massage the baby's belly more, massage the belly clockwise to help intestinal peristalsis and promote baby's digestion.

2. It may be caused by severe internal heat. Let the baby drink more hot water, which will improve the condition. Don't wear too many clothes and keep the room ventilated.

2. 1. Swallowing excessive air. The baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, the stomach is small and flat, and the baby will feel very uncomfortable when a large amount of air passes through the intestines. If there is a lot of flatulence, the mother should let him burp more often, and let him burp the flatulence before and during each feeding. When feeding, hold the baby in a semi-sitting position in your arms and let the baby hold the nipple and areola in his mouth. The milk flow should not be too fast or interrupted. The hole in the rubber nipple should not be too large or too small, and do not suck the artificial nipple empty.

2. Excessive milk syndrome. The symptoms are crying while sucking milk, frequent farting and abdominal colic. The reason is that when babies consume a lot of foremilk and less hindmilk containing fatty acids, their stomachs empty quickly and excess lactose is discharged into the intestines, which leads to increased intestinal fermentation and colic symptoms. The baby should only be fed on one side at a time, and then wait 1.5-2 hours before feeding on the other side.

Since the baby's physiological structure is relatively simple and its development is very imperfect, it is normal for the baby to fart frequently or have sour and smelly stools. Mothers should not let their children eat too much to prevent them from not being able to absorb all the food and causing indigestion. Mothers should also replenish their children with water appropriately to prevent them from being dehydrated and causing getting angry. The editor wishes every mother's baby to be healthy.
