What is the cause of green and foamy baby stools?

What I want to talk to you about today is the problem of green and foamy baby stools. Many babies will encounter various problems as soon as they are born. Because of these problems, not only babies are growing up, but many parents are also growing up. These parents have also learned to take care of their children. So is it normal or abnormal for babies to have green stools with a lot of foam? Let’s take a look at it below. I hope this can help everyone.

There are usually several reasons why the baby's stool is green: 1. The stool of breastfed babies is generally acidic. Normal stool is slightly green, sometimes mixed with some white particles. 2. It is a sign of indigestion in baby, so just adjust the baby's diet. 3. If a baby fed with milk powder has green stools, it means that the intestinal peristalsis is accelerated or there is inflammation in the intestine, which is a symbol of diarrhea. 4. If a baby who eats iron-containing milk powder cannot fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, his stool will be yellow-green, the white particles in the stool will be larger, and will be more likely to have a foul odor. 5. When the baby's stool is cooled by cold air entering the intestines, it will also be green. Parents need to pay attention to keeping the baby's belly warm. When the baby sleeps, he should wear a bellyband around the navel. You can also use a hot water bottle to warm the baby's belly, but be careful not to scald the baby. If your baby occasionally poops green, the mother does not need to worry too much. Just pay attention to the baby's weight and whether there are any obvious changes in appetite. If your baby has green stools frequently, has a decreased appetite, and has not gained weight, it is best to take your baby to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are other problems.

The above is some relevant content about green and foamy baby stools. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. If your baby's stool is green, it may be due to indigestion. This is not a big problem, so you don't need to go to the hospital. If the expectant mother is still breastfeeding her child, she should pay special attention to diet issues and remember not to eat spicy, raw or cold foods, which will have a great impact on the green color of the baby's stool.
