What should I do if my baby has green stools during the confinement period?

After giving birth, the mother may not take good care of the baby due to work or other reasons, which can easily cause some adverse conditions for the child, such as green stools when defecating. However, the mother has not taken corresponding countermeasures to this problem, which greatly affects the baby's health. I hope that the mother today will pay attention after listening to the editor's introduction. Next, let us listen to why babies have green stools.

Catch a cold

If your child has caught a cold recently, he or she may have green stools. The main reason is indigestion, so you must pay more attention to keeping your baby warm.

Iron deficiency

The child's diet is controlled by the mother. When the child has indigestion problems, the mother should look for the cause in herself. If the milk powder the baby consumes contains too much iron, the baby's absorption of iron is too slow, which will result in the child's stool being green. Although consuming iron is a good way to supplement iron, when supplementing iron, we still need to pay attention to whether the child can absorb all of it. It is very important to supplement iron scientifically.

Improper diet

In order to provide their babies with more comprehensive nutrition, many mothers prepare crude fiber vegetable puree porridge for their babies when their children’s digestion ability for green vegetables is still weak. However, after the babies eat it, they will have green stools. In fact, a child's ability to digest food improves gradually. If a child is not yet able to eat vegetables, avoid letting the baby eat vegetables high in crude fiber. It will not be too late to add them when the baby's digestive function is more mature.

The baby has green stools because of some diseases, so the mother must observe the baby's stool more often in normal times, because the color of the stool reflects the baby's physical health. The editor sincerely reminds mothers to pay more attention to the baby's stool in the future, and any abnormalities need to be treated in time.
