Why is my baby's poop black?

Babies’ poop is usually golden yellow, but if it is black, what did they eat? This is also a problem that many mothers are worried about. After all, metabolism needs to take place every day. Let us now understand why the baby’s poop is black? And how to improve this situation.

The main reason why babies have black stools is that when babies eat too much fat, too much fatty acid will be produced in the intestinal cavity, which will stimulate the intestinal mucosa and increase intestinal peristalsis, resulting in light yellow liquid and larger stools. If your baby's stool is black, it may be caused by the stool being stored in the baby's intestines for a long time after drinking milk powder. However, if black stool occurs frequently, it is also necessary to do a routine stool test for the baby to see if there is any occult blood.

Usually, your baby must drink enough water, and you can also let your baby drink vegetable juice and fruit juice. Be careful to prevent your baby from constipation. Mothers can also use their fingers to gently massage around the baby's belly button in a clockwise direction to stimulate the baby's intestinal peristalsis. If necessary, use soap bars or enema to help your baby defecate.

If your baby's poop is black, it is probably because the food he ate has a black odor and his digestive intestines are damaged. Fruits and vegetables are the best foods for improving digestion. In life, we should eat more fruits and vegetables to improve our immunity. Promote gastrointestinal motility problems. I wish every baby can have a healthy body.
