What is the color of a full-month baby's stool?

Babies cannot express their thoughts when they are very young, especially when they are not feeling well, they cannot tell their family members where they are feeling unwell. This requires parents to observe every tiny sign of the baby. In fact, the baby's poop can also reflect the baby's physical condition very well. For example, a baby who has just turned one month old can tell you a lot about his poop. First of all, you need to know what color your baby's stool is.

Normal stool is: for breastfed babies, the stool is golden yellow and soft; for milk-fed babies, the stool is light yellow and dry. If the stool has a strong odor, it means that the protein is not digested well; if there are curds in the stool, it is soap lumps formed by undigested fat and calcium or magnesium; if the stool is loose and unformed, you should consider whether the amount of complementary food has been added too much or the complementary food is not soft enough, affecting digestion and absorption.

If you find that your stool is gray, hard and has a bad smell, it usually means that there is too much milk and too little sugar, and you need to change the ratio of milk and sugar. If the feces of a bottle-fed baby is found to be dark green and mucous, it means that the milk supply is insufficient and the baby is in a semi-starved state. He or she must be fed sugar, rice soup, milk, or milk substitute. When the baby is sick, it is also necessary to add less or no complementary food as appropriate. If the stool is very dry, you can add some vegetable puree, or feed more vegetable water or fruit juice.

In addition, pay attention to the color of the stool. If the baby is fed green leafy vegetables, the stool may be a little green; if the baby is fed tomatoes, the stool may be a little red. These are normal metabolic reactions and parents don't need to worry too much. However, when mucus, pus and blood appear in the stool, the frequency of bowel movements increases, and the stool is as thin as water, it means that the baby may have eaten unhygienic or spoiled food and may have intestinal diseases such as enteritis and dysentery. When a young baby is diagnosed with this disease, parents must not take it lightly. They should keep some stool so that it can be tested in time in the hospital and the baby can be treated in time according to the cause of the disease.

Don't underestimate your baby's poop! This is also a good way to communicate with your baby. By observing your baby's poop, you can also understand your baby's physical condition very well, so that you can prevent more diseases for your baby more timely, save your baby from the pain caused by many diseases, and give your baby a healthy growth environment.
