What to do if your baby has foamy stools

How do first-time parents know if their newborn baby is being fed properly? The feeding situation of the baby can be judged from the shape of the stool. The stool of a breastfed baby is yellow or golden yellow, uniform like ointment, but has no odor. The baby has frequent bowel movements, usually 2 to 4 times a day, and some as many as 7 to 8 times. This is called physiological diarrhea. However, some children will have foamy stools. What should you do if your baby has foamy stools? Parents don't need to worry, this is a normal phenomenon, and the diarrhea will disappear automatically when the child grows up to a certain age.

There are several reasons why your baby's stool is foamy:

1. The food the mother eats is cold, and the breast milk passes to the baby, causing the baby’s delicate stomach to be unable to bear it and causing diarrhea.

2. The baby was not wearing a bellyband, and the close-fitting clothes were too loose, allowing the cool wind to blow through. Although the bellyband is very thin, it can be placed directly above the belly button to provide protection, so wearing one more bellyband can play a big role.

3. The baby's milk is not digested, resulting in poor intestinal absorption. This is mainly because the mother eats too greasy food. As long as the mother eats light food, it will be fine.

4. The baby lacks digestive enzymes, which leads to the inability to absorb. Such babies can only take more medicine to aid digestion. The main ones are: Lactase, Golden Shuangqi, and Mommy Love.

Solution:

1. Normally, breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to their diet and eat as little cold food as possible. No matter how greedy they are, they have to endure it.

2. No matter how the weather changes, the baby should wear a belly band, which can be padded in winter and single in summer. It is best to let your baby wear a bellyband with legs (the kind that can be put over the legs), which can keep the baby close to the body at all times.

3. If your baby often has diarrhea after eating milk powder, try changing several types of milk powder. If that doesn't work, buy skimmed milk powder or milk powder with a slightly lower fat content. Mothers who are breastfeeding should pay attention to eating more vegetables and drinking more water. Millet porridge is nutritious and low in fat, so it is a good choice! !

4. On weekdays, you should give your baby more digestive enzymes, such as: Lactase, Golden Shuangqi, and Mommy Love. These little pills are delicious and sweet, and babies won’t resist them.
