What does normal baby poop look like?

Babies do not have good expressive abilities, and often they can only express their physical pains by crying, but we don’t know whether they are suffering from indigestion or other pains in the body. However, we can also judge whether the baby's metabolism is normal by their stool. Here we will introduce what normal baby stool looks like.

The stools of breastfed babies are golden or dark yellow and have no unpleasant odor. The stool is loose but has texture, sometimes granular and sometimes curd-like. A baby who's fed formula has a pale yellow or yellow-brown poop, and the residue from formula can make the baby's poop look bulkier than a breastfed baby's poop because formula can't be digested as completely as breast milk. In addition, the stool of babies fed formula also smells smellier and more like adult stool. Experts point out that babies who eat formula usually need to defecate at least once a day to feel comfortable. The longer they do not defecate, the harder the stool will be and the more difficult it will be to pass, which will lead to constipation. If you feel your baby is having trouble passing stools, be sure to consult your pediatrician.

Normal baby stool is yellow. If it is green or yellow, it is abnormal. Also, normal baby stool should be in strips. If it is watery, it means the baby has diarrhea. If the baby has to exert a lot of force when defecating and it is difficult to defecate, it proves that the baby is constipated. When the baby has these abnormalities, it means that the baby has indigestion. At this time, you can give the baby some Mommy Love or Biostime to regulate the baby's stomach.

My baby is not even a month old yet. When I was breastfeeding, he would poop many times a day and sometimes he would fart with some yellow mountain poop. When he gets older, I'll give him some baby powder or if mommy likes to eat it, she'll be hungry. As long as the baby's poop is yellow, it's fine.

Normal stools for breastfed babies do not have a sour or smelly smell. They are present several times a day and there is a lot of yellow stool each time. The stools of formula-fed babies may be harder, and sometimes only appear once every few days. If the stools have a sour or smelly smell and the tongue is coated with thick fur, it means the baby has indigestion. Rub the baby's belly more often.

The above is a detailed explanation of normal baby stool, especially for younger babies. Their stool often reflects some of their physical conditions. For example, green stool is often caused by fright, so parents must take certain measures at this time. I hope the above information can help you.
