How to take care of a three-month-old baby with foamy stools?

Many parents think that the foam in the stool of a three-month-old baby is caused by body heat, so they will give the child medication. In fact, the baby's stomach and intestines are very weak. If they are not fully mature, they will be affected by various germs, diet and other adverse factors, and the baby's stool will be abnormal. Parents are better off using less medication and can use effective nursing and conditioning. So how to care for a three-month-old baby with foam in the stool?

If there is foam in the baby's stool, the possible reason may be related to the baby's indigestion and enteritis. The stool mixed with foam may also be related to the baby crying for too long and swallowing a lot of air. If the baby also vomits up milk, the vomited milk has a sour smell, or is accompanied by undigested milk lumps, or has abdominal distension (the baby lies flat on the bed with the abdomen higher than the chest), the stool is accompanied by foam, without mucus or pus and blood, the frequency of bowel movements is just increased, and the stool is still yellow or a little light green and paste-like, or loose and rotten, then it is indigestion. It may also be caused by enteritis, so you must pay attention to the methods when caring for it.

4. Check whether the baby’s belly button and feet are cold. Even in extremely hot weather, you should pay attention to keeping these two parts warm when turning on the air conditioner.

Wait until he recovers and then add it slowly. Generally, this physiological diarrhea will gradually improve after adding complementary foods.

6. The baby’s stomach and intestines are not fully developed yet. It is best not to use medication frequently at this time, especially antibiotics. All medicines are toxic and will affect the baby's health, so you should be especially careful when using medication for your baby.

It is definitely abnormal for a three-month-old baby to have foam in his stool. Parents should observe whether the baby has other discomforts and then take symptomatic treatment. During this period, they should pay attention to the baby's diet, personal habits, etc., which can effectively control the condition.
