1. Parents should pay attention to their children’s bowel movements

A child's stool can reflect his or her physical condition. That is, a normal child's stool is light yellow or khaki and slightly looser. If the child's stool is dry, it is a sign of heat and dehydration; if the child's stool is lumpy, it is caused by the child absorbing too much protein; in addition, if the child's stool contains a lot of water, it is caused by indigestion. Parents need to pay attention to their children's stomach and diet. Another thing is that if there is foam in the child's stool, it means that the infant formula the child drinks contains too much sugar, and mothers should consider switching to formula with lower sugar content. If the stool is particularly loose, it may be diarrhea caused by poor stomach function.

2. Mothers should pay attention to hydrating their children

When mothers find that their children have dry stools, they should pay attention to hydrating their children and give them more boiled water to help them absorb water, so that the body is no longer dehydrated and helps reduce internal heat. In addition, when preparing milk powder, you can dilute it appropriately for your child to drink so that they can drink more water. Also, if the child is able to eat complementary foods, mothers can stew pears for the child to help reduce internal heat. Or you can let your child eat some fruit puree to help the body absorb vitamins and avoid constipation.
