Causes and treatments of yellow urine in two-month-old babies

Babies of one or two months old need to drink breast milk or formula, which can easily cause internal heat, so the urine will appear yellowish. This is mainly due to internal heat. You can let your child drink more water to reduce the internal heat. If there is no improvement, you should see a doctor. So what is the reason for yellow urine in a two-month-old baby and how to treat it?

Causes of yellow urine in children

1. Physiological yellow urine.

Yellow urine is one of the typical symptoms of children suffering from internal heat. Children have a faster metabolism, but their digestive system is immature. The secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes is low, and the activity of digestive enzymes is low. They cannot withstand large changes in dietary substances and quantities, which can easily cause "internal heat", commonly known as "internal heat" in traditional Chinese medicine. Improper diet or improper feeding methods can cause yellow urine.

2. Pathological yellow urine.

Urinary tract infection can cause yellow urine, but urinary tract symptoms are not obvious in newborns and infants under one year old. Most children only experience fever, reluctance to eat, pale complexion, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension and other systemic symptoms that are not caused by urinary tract infection. If you find that your baby cries when urinating, or has frequent urination or persistent diaper rash, there may be an infection of the urinary organs. You should see a doctor as soon as possible and have a regular urine test.

Methods for treating and preventing physiological jaundice

1. Drink more water:

Babies need a lot of water every day, and the amount of water each time they are fed is about half of the amount of milk per meal: 30 ml in the first week after birth; 45 ml in the second week; 50-60 ml after 1 month; 60-75 ml at 3 months; 70-80 ml at 4 months; 80-100 ml at 6 months; 100-120 ml at 8-12 months. The amount of water should be increased appropriately in summer.

2. Regulate internal heat

Choose breastfeeding whenever possible. Babies who drink high-calorie foods such as formula milk and fresh milk for a long time can choose plant-based heat-clearing products that are both medicinal and edible to relieve the symptoms of yellow urine caused by internal heat, achieving the heat-reducing effect of "one clear, two moisturizing, and three comfortable". Such as Meiban's "Qingqingbao" and other products: safe and without side effects, add it to milk or directly mix it with warm water to achieve the effect of balancing the calorie intake of food, gently reduce fire, and will not be too cold. Be careful to choose fire-clearing products that are trustworthy and have a good reputation.

The above is a detailed explanation of the causes and treatment methods of yellow urine in two-month-old babies. The baby's yellow urine is mainly caused by physiological reasons. Because the weather is getting hotter now, if you don’t drink more water, it will easily cause getting angry.
