What should I do if my baby’s stool is dark yellow?

It is quite common for babies to have dark yellow stools, because children are prone to indigestion, which is closely related to the child's incomplete development. Therefore, parents must pay special attention to it, because feces can easily determine the child's condition, so special attention must be paid. Now I will tell you how to deal with this situation, so parents must watch carefully.

Generally, the stools of breastfed babies are yellow or golden yellow, uniform like ointment, occasionally thin and slightly green, sour but not smelly, and they have frequent bowel movements, generally 2-4 times a day, and some as many as 7-8 times, but the stool shape is normal, and the baby's spirit, feeding, and weight are all good. This is called physiological diarrhea, which is normal. As the baby grows older, the gastrointestinal absorption function improves and the frequency of bowel movements gradually decreases after adding complementary foods.

However, due to feeding conditions and individual differences, the number of bowel movements per day is not exactly the same for each baby, ranging from 1-2 times a day or once every 2-3 days. As long as the nature and color of the stool are normal, the baby is in good spirits and eats well, the weight gain is normal, and the bowel movements are smooth, it is normal.

If your baby's bowel movements increase, and there is mucus in the stool, watery stool, mucus in the stool, poor spirits, less urine, fever and other worsening symptoms, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for treatment in time, and do routine stool tests to check whether there is inflammation, and treat and use medication under the guidance of a doctor.

If you have frequent bowel movements and your stools are thin, you can choose to have a routine stool test. If it is due to poor digestion, you can take Children's Compound Pancreatic Enzyme Powder for treatment. Generally, you can recover after a period of treatment.

Therefore, parents and friends, please do not worry too much about your children and do not give them random medicines, because this may delay their condition or make it worse. Pay more attention to your children's diet and let them eat more light foods, which can better help them treat the symptoms.
