What should baby poop look like?

Some of the baby's metabolism can usually reflect the baby's physical condition. Even the shape of the baby's stool can reflect the baby's physical health. Let's take a look at what the shape of the baby's stool should be. I hope the above information can help everyone.

If the baby is fed with pure breast milk, most of them will have diarrhea, several times a day, and even have stool when they push. Babies who eat milk powder are very prone to constipation, and some will only have diarrhea once every few days.

Generally, the stool of newborns is like wet scrambled eggs. If the baby is fed with formula, the stool will be relatively drier, and the baby will need breast milk one or two more times.

The baby will have meconium within the first 3 days after birth, which is a dark green stool. Then there will be a few days of excessive stool. Generally, there will be milk curds in the excessive stool, and then it will transition to normal stool. Babies fed with breast milk mostly have yellow or golden paste-like poop, while babies fed with milk powder may have yellow or khaki poop, which starts to take shape after one month.

The stool of a newborn baby should be golden yellow, pasty, and odorless, which is normal. Other stools with odor, watery, or egg-drop-like appearance are abnormal.

Newborns have more frequent poops, which are usually yellow and paste-like. Breast milk is slightly thinner than formula. It is okay for the poop to change color occasionally. Babies are small and their gastrointestinal functions are not yet perfect. As long as the poop is not watery and the frequency is super high, it is not abnormal.

For newborn babies who are breastfed, their poop is yellow, soft or watery and paste-like. It is normal if it does not smell bad but has a sour taste. The poop of babies who are fed with milk powder is slightly drier. Babies who are breastfed have to poop several times a day, while babies who are fed with formula are prone to constipation.

The above is the shape of baby's stool. Since they do not have good expression ability, parents can only observe their daily conditions through some observations. So if your child also has the above conditions, you can use the feces method to check your child's physical health. I wish your child can have a healthy body.
