What's up with the white blood cells in baby's stool?

Because the baby has just come into this world and cannot adapt to the environment which is completely different from the mother's body, he needs extra attention and care from his parents. Otherwise, a small problem may cause the baby to get sick. Since the baby cannot express himself, some physical manifestations of the baby will serve as an alarm to the parents. For example, white blood cells are found in baby’s stool. What’s going on?

The white blood cell count in stool is 0-2, which has no clinical significance at all. (It is normal for children without diarrhea to have white blood cell count in stool of 0-2) So there is no need to worry too much! However, because the baby is still young, you must pay attention to his mental state. If you have diarrhea too often, be sure to drink enough water to prevent dehydration! In addition, please note:

1. Hygiene of baby products (including milk bottles, milk pans, etc. When breastfeeding, mothers should also pay attention to keeping their nipples clean).

2. You can start adding complementary foods to your baby when he is 4-6 months old. Therefore, the addition of complementary foods should be gradual, from little to more, and from semi-liquid food to solid food. In particular, fatty foods that are difficult to digest should not be added too early.

3. Pay attention to the regularity of diet.

4. Pay attention to changes in temperature and seasons, and add or remove clothes to avoid cooling your stomach. However, if the baby's diarrhea frequency continues to increase, the stool is watery and fishy, ​​the spirit is progressively depressed, and the baby refuses to drink milk, you should go to the hospital immediately. Mothers, please note that when it is necessary to test the stool, prepare a clean small bottle, extract the stool immediately after the baby has defecated, and rush to the hospital for testing within an hour (the stool will not become invalid during this time).

So babies are very fragile, and if parents are not careful, unexpected situations may occur. Parents sometimes feel helpless, but fortunately, medical technology is so advanced now. As long as certain behaviors of the baby's body are tested, if there is a problem, the baby can be treated in time. If the baby's stool contains white blood cells, you can take the baby's stool to the hospital for testing.
