What is the reason why babies always have diarrhea?

Some newborn babies are prone to diarrhea. The stool is basically watery and occurs frequently throughout the day. Some are black, some are yellow, and some are green. Babies will have such symptoms from a very early age, and this is very common, so there is no need to worry too much. So what should you do if your baby always has diarrhea?

1. Physiological loose stools

Since the intestinal function of normal newborns is not yet fully developed, there are obvious differences in the stool characteristics of babies with different feeding methods. For example, breast milk is easily absorbed by newborns who are breastfed, so breastfed babies generally have more bowel movements and may experience false diarrhea. The baby may have up to 7-8 bowel movements a day, or even 10-12 times. The stools are usually thin. If the baby is in good spirits, eats well, and has normal weight gain, there is no need to worry.

2. Pathological factors

(1) Non-infectious factors, improper feeding: Parents feed their newborn babies milk powder that is too concentrated, unsuitable, sugar is added to the milk powder, the milk is too cold, or starchy foods such as rice paste are added too early, which can easily lead to food accumulation in the baby and cause diarrhea.

Allergy to milk powder: 2-7 out of 100 babies are allergic to milk powder protein. Newborn babies with hereditary allergies are more likely to develop allergic symptoms to milk powder protein.

(2) Viral or bacterial infection

Cold: When babies have a cold, they often have diarrhea symptoms. Therefore, as long as the cold is cured fundamentally, the diarrhea will naturally heal.

Viral or bacterial infection: Newborns have poor immune function, especially intestinal immunity. When the intestine is infected, they are unable to weaken and neutralize the virulence of bacteria. It can be divided into intestinal infection and extraintestinal infection.

When children are in such a situation, we mostly consider that it is indigestion or some other reasons. We can choose to let the children take some intestinal microecological preparations such as Mami Love or Bifikon to regulate their gastrointestinal system. It is also necessary to pay attention to timely supplementing the children with some vitamin AD to prevent calcium deficiency.
