Why is there foam in the stool of a 50-day-old baby?

The baby's diet for 50 days is still mainly breast milk or milk powder, and generally no complementary food can be added. But even when drinking the same amount of milk, the baby's stool will show different symptoms. Moreover, parents can generally judge whether their child's diet is appropriate based on the baby's bowel movements. If a child has foamy stools after 50 days of age, it usually means that the digestion is not good. Let’s look at the specific instructions.

Generally, if a child's stool is mixed with foam, it often indicates that the child has indigestion. Only when the child's digestion is poor and there are too many food residues, which are fermented and gasified by bacteria in the intestines, will the stool be mixed with foam. In addition, the presence of foam in the stool may be related to the child crying for too long and swallowing a lot of air.

If the child also vomits up milk, the vomited milk has a sour smell, or is accompanied by undigested milk lumps, or has abdominal distension (the child lies flat on the bed with the abdomen higher than the chest), the stool is foamy and has no mucus or pus or blood, the frequency of bowel movements is just increased, and the stool is still yellow or a little light green and paste-like, or loose and rotten, then it is indigestion. You can feed some digestive water to help, or you can feed some Mommy Love to adjust the intestinal flora, and Smecta to stop diarrhea, etc.

Therefore, when the above situation occurs. Mothers should know how to let their children eat small meals frequently and not feed too much milk at one time. At the same time, pay attention to the child's posture when drinking milk. If the posture is incorrect, it may easily cause vomiting or indigestion. After the baby finishes drinking milk, pick him up, pat his back, and then put him down. It can also prevent vomiting and indigestion. Finally, be sure to observe your child's bowel movements.
