How to treat a 2-year-old baby’s green stool?

Babies have much weaker resistance than adults, and being a little thin may affect their stool. It is also a common symptom for babies to pass green stools. Many parents feel particularly sorry for their children, but at this time they are at a loss and don’t know how to care for their babies to restore their health. The editor has summarized the coping measures for parents. If you want to know more, please read the following content.

If your baby has green stools with a distinct odor, it is a sign of indigestion. At this time, the amount of milk should be reduced appropriately or the milk should be diluted. If the stool is also foamy, it indicates carbohydrate indigestion and you must reduce or stop feeding starchy foods, such as potatoes. If the stool looks creamy, it indicates fat malabsorption and you should reduce your intake of oily foods, such as peanuts and soy products.

If your baby only has green, watery stools without any noticeable odor, it usually means that his stomach is cold. You can boil a few eggs with ginger, then wrap them with a piece of cloth. If the eggs are too hot to touch, wrap them in a few more layers until you can feel them slightly warm. Apply the wrapped egg on the baby's belly to let the continuous heat emitted by the egg warm the belly. Apply hot compress for about 20 minutes each time, and the symptoms will be relieved in two days.

Another situation is that when the baby first adds vegetable puree, he is prone to green stools. In fact, it is just a small amount of green vegetable puree that is excreted. Many parents think it is indigestion and stop adding vegetable puree. In fact, this phenomenon is normal and is common when healthy babies change food. As long as the baby does not add vegetable puree, he will not have green stools.

Another situation is when the baby is not full, hunger often causes the gastrointestinal motility to be too fast, and the stool becomes green. At this time, you should feed your baby in time, and wait until the baby is 70% to 80% full, then observe his stool carefully. As long as the stool returns to its normal yellow color, it proves that the baby's gastrointestinal tract is healthy.

Now parents should have a general understanding that the method described above is very effective when the baby has green stools. But don't ignore this important step of physical examination, otherwise feeding your baby medicine randomly may hurt his stomach and intestines. This is probably not what parents want to see, so be sure to keep it in mind.
