What should I do if there are particles in my baby’s stool?

The baby is still young and it is easy for some problems to occur. Especially when the baby defecates, there may be some sticky substances, and sometimes there may be some particle-like things. At this time, the mother must pay attention to it. The appearance of some particles in the baby's stool indicates that the baby's body has some adverse conditions. I hope you will listen to the editor's explanation below.

What does normal baby poop look like?

After the baby is born, he will excrete green or black meconium, which is smooth and sticky. During the breastfeeding stage, the baby's stool is yellow, or a little green, and may be ointment-like, have small particles, or be shaped. These may vary with the type of milk.

Identify sensitive signs of abnormal baby stool

indigestion

The stool stinks. It may be that the baby eats too much protein.

There is too much foam in the stool. It may be that the mother lets the baby consume too much sugar.

The stool is oily. It may be that too much indigestible fat is added to the baby's food.

In fact, indigestion is a mild abnormal bowel movement. If parents find that their baby has the above phenomenon, they just need to pay attention to the child's diet, slightly reduce the burden on the baby's digestive system, and appropriately reduce the amount of feeding.

constipate

Constipation is very common in infants and young children. Common symptoms include: dry and hard stools, not having a bowel movement for several days, and difficulty having a bowel movement. When defecation is difficult, the baby will cry, and sometimes the friction of stool will cause bleeding around the baby's anus.

In fact, most baby constipation is related to nutritional imbalance. Babies who are breastfeeding, especially formula milk, have too much protein and fat and insufficient carbohydrates. Protein and fat can easily combine with calcium to form lumps, making the stool dry and hard. In addition, it may be that the food is too fine or the amount of breast milk is insufficient.

If the baby is constipated, you can supplement him with some sugar. The mother can feed him some rice soup (without rice grains), vegetable juice, honey water, and more boiled water every day.

Because the baby is still relatively young, its body functions are not fully mature yet. It is normal for the body to have some adverse conditions. However, the mother must pay more attention to observation at this stage. Some adverse conditions need to be treated in time, otherwise it will affect the health of the elder sister and the baby. The editor hopes that your baby will be healthier and healthier when you get married.
