What to do if baby's stool is blue?

The baby's stool is blue. Mothers should not be too nervous, perhaps their babies are frightened. On the other hand, is it eating green food? These small details will affect the baby's metabolism. It is more effective to observe the baby's physical condition through feces. Let's find out what to do if the baby's feces is blue?

There is nothing wrong with light green stool color, because when the stool is acidic, the bile contained in it oxidizes into green when it comes into contact with air. Bilirubin in bile is a yellow pigment that makes feces yellow. After oxidation, bilirubin turns into biliverdin, which makes feces green. When the excreted feces encounter oxygen in the air in the diaper, the bilirubin is oxidized into biliverdin, making the surface of the feces green.

In addition, due to the action of Lactobacillus bifidum, the intestines have become acidic, and the stool has been oxidized in the intestines, turning green and being excreted from the body. Therefore, green stool is not abnormal, it is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry about it. If the stool is dark green, it is mostly a sign of indigestion. It is recommended to take some digestive aids orally, such as Pangodesheng, Lactase, etc., give the baby more water, and eat small meals frequently. Also observe the baby. As long as the body temperature is normal, there is no problem.

The above is how to deal with blue stools in your baby. It is normal for stool to turn blue when it is oxidized in the intestines. No special treatment is required. However, if the stool continues to turn blue, it may be that the baby has severe indigestion and needs to take some medication to aid digestion.
