Is it normal for a newborn to poop as soon as he feeds?

Many newborns have a problem, that is, if they are not careful when eating and eat a little more, they will poop. Parents are very confused, is this normal? For children, sometimes they start to poop if they drink too much milk. Some doctors say that children cannot eat too much when they are young. Many parents have misunderstandings in this regard and do not think that children are in a rapid growth stage. Let’s talk about whether it is normal for newborns to poop as soon as they drink milk?

The digestive capacity of this type of baby is limited. If the food they eat exceeds their tolerance, diarrhea will occur. Due to differences in eating habits, health conditions and individual differences, the nutrients (mainly fat) contained in some mothers' breast milk exceed the baby's needs, which will cause diarrhea in the baby, which is usually called "physiological diarrhea."

If the baby has no other symptoms except increased frequency of bowel movements, has a good appetite, does not vomit, and his growth and development are not affected, then it is not caused by any disease. After adding complementary foods, the bowel movements will gradually return to normal, and the mother does not need to worry too much. Babies with "physiological diarrhea" do not need medication, and generally the effect will be achieved by changing the baby's diet to milk or other dairy products. If you don't want to wean your baby, you can shorten the time of each feeding and let your baby only eat the first half of the milk which is high in protein and low in fat. This can also improve the situation.

Because the gastrointestinal tract of newborn babies is still in a very fragile stage, parents should pay special attention to it. Don’t think that eating more milk will play a big role in the growth and development of the child. This is the truth that everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme. Therefore, we should still feed the baby reasonably. Generally speaking, it is normal for newborn babies to defecate, and it will gradually improve as they grow older.
