Why is there mucus in the stool of a three-month-old baby?

Three-month-old babies are generally breastfed, so at this time, they should be allowed to drink more water, otherwise some babies will have dry stools. However, some mothers often ask that their baby’s stools are abnormal and contain mucus. So why does a three-month-old baby have mucus in his stool?

1. Children's illness is caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction and indigestion. After a detailed examination, active treatment should be given. They should have a reasonable diet, strengthen care, avoid adverse stimulation, and supplement B vitamins. For diarrhea, Smectite, tannic acid protein, etc. can be used. For indigestion, pancreatic enzyme powder, Zhengchangsheng, Lactase, Lizhu Changle, etc. can be used.

2. Mainly artificial feeding, if diarrhea occurs, it is recommended to stop taking vitamin AD during diarrhea and medication. The key to this type of diarrhea is to prevent dehydration. During the acute phase of the disease, it is recommended to temporarily fast, drink plenty of water, and gradually add milk powder. If the child becomes listless or dehydrated, he or she should be taken to the hospital for intravenous treatment in time.

3. Before adding complementary foods, the food the baby eats has a higher water content, so the stool also contains more water. The stools of breastfed newborns are unformed and are generally mushy or watery, and may contain curds or mucus. The stools of artificially fed babies are harder and basically formed. After adding complementary foods (especially solid foods), the baby's stool will slowly take shape and become harder, gradually approaching that of an adult.

4. For diarrhea caused by enteritis, you can use tannic acid protein yeast powder and supplement some vitamin B. Although the baby may not like the taste, the lack of vitamin B will reduce the digestive enzymes in the baby's body and weaken the digestive ability, because B vitamins promote the body's secretion of digestive enzymes. Now you need to eat less to reduce the burden on your gastrointestinal tract. Eat small amounts each time and eat small amounts multiple times a day. But be careful not to let your baby take medicines or foods that are too heaty when he has diarrhea, because taking heaty food when he has diarrhea will aggravate the diarrhea.

Why does my three-month-old baby have mucus in his stool? The above explains why there is mucus in the baby's stool. This may be a problem with the digestive system, so you must clarify the specific situation before making corresponding treatments. Do not feed the baby medicine without authorization, as this will affect the baby's health.
