What is the color of a seven month old baby's stool?

The nutrition required for children's growth is different at each stage. Generally, appropriate complementary foods need to be added when the baby is seven months old. If you are not careful during the addition process, it will affect the baby's digestion and absorption. So what is the color of a normal seven-month-old baby's stool?

1. The feces of breastfed babies are golden yellow, mostly uniform and paste-like, with occasional small milk curds and a sour taste, 2-3 times a day. Even if you have bowel movements 3-5 times a day, it can be considered normal if the stool does not contain too much water and is mushy.

2. The feces of artificially fed infants: Infants fed with milk (including milk powder) or goat milk have light yellow feces, most of which are formed, contain more milk curds, are alkaline or neutral, have large amounts and are smelly, and occur 1-2 times a day.

3. The feces of mixed-feeding infants: The feces of infants fed with breast milk and cow's milk are similar to those of infants fed with cow's milk, but are yellower and softer. After adding complementary foods such as cereals, eggs, meat, and vegetables, the stool characteristics become close to those of adults, and should be taken once a day.

Usually, the baby's stool in the first few days after birth is uniform, dark green and sticky, which is called stool (normal phenomenon). The stool of babies who are breastfed within one month after birth is mostly yellow. As they grow older, the stool will change from yellow to yellow-green or green. By 5 months of age, most of the feces are yellow-green and green. However, babies who are fed infant formula, especially whey protein and iron-fortified formula, often have green stools. After the baby starts eating complementary foods, his stool will gradually turn brown.

The appearance of green stools in babies is related to their individual constitution, age, intestinal acidity, intestinal bacterial growth status, and dairy product ingredients (such as iron). As long as the baby's spirit and activities are normal, there is no need to worry. Breastfed babies have more diluted, fine, golden-colored stools, slightly sour, and no foam, ranging from 3 to 8 times a day;
