Is it normal for babies to poop after feeding?

If the baby poops as soon as he feeds, mothers must first observe whether the baby's poop is yellow and whether it has any odor. Also, look at the baby's weight changes. If the weight change is particularly obvious, it is an abnormal phenomenon. Parents must take the child to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and get diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. You must pay more attention to your baby's eating habits, and the mother should also pay attention to her own diet, because if the baby is breastfeeding, if the mother eats too greasy food, the baby will have difficulty digesting it.

Babies have a limited digestive capacity. If they eat more food than they can handle, they will suffer from diarrhea. Due to differences in eating habits, health conditions and individual differences, the nutrients (mainly fat) contained in some mothers' breast milk exceed the baby's needs, which will cause diarrhea in the baby, which is usually called "physiological diarrhea."

If the baby has no other symptoms except increased frequency of bowel movements, has a good appetite, does not vomit, and his growth and development are not affected, then it is not caused by any disease. After adding complementary foods, the bowel movements will gradually return to normal, and the mother does not need to worry too much. Babies with "physiological diarrhea" do not need medication, and generally the effect will be achieved by changing the baby's diet to milk or other dairy products.

If you don't want to wean your baby, you can shorten the time of each feeding and let your baby only eat the first half of the milk which is high in protein and low in fat. This can also improve the situation. If necessary, the mother can drink a large cup of light salt water half an hour to an hour before breastfeeding to dilute the breast milk, and then feed the baby.

Because children are too young and cannot tell where they are feeling uncomfortable, parents usually have to pay more attention to their children's physical condition. Observing a child's bowel movements is a very direct way to check his or her physical condition. If your baby really poops as soon as he feeds, it is normal if it happens in the first few days after the birth of a newborn, but if the baby is already several months old, parents should pay attention to it.
