Reasons why babies have yellow-green stools

The baby's health has always been the most concerned issue for parents, but there is a problem, and it is a relatively common problem, but parents do not pay enough attention to it. What is the problem? Dad often has yellow-green stools. What is the reason why the baby has yellow-green stools? This is a question that many parents cannot answer. So, there is still a long way to go to become a qualified and competent parent.

1. Bilirubin in bile is a yellow pigment. When it is dyed, the feces will appear yellow. After oxidation, bilirubin will turn into biliverdin, which will make the feces appear green. When the excreted feces encounter oxygen in the air, bilirubin is oxidized into biliverdin, making the surface of the feces green. In addition, due to the action of Lactobacillus bifidum, the intestines have become acidic, and the stool has been oxidized in the intestines, turning green and being excreted from the body.

2. The baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed and has poor adaptability. Indigestion (there are many reasons, such as irregular diet, improper nutrient combination, sudden change in diet, excessive nutrition, etc.), hunger, cold, or even fright, etc. will cause the stool to be green. Usually, as long as you adjust the diet, there is no need to worry. If you cannot determine which condition is causing the problem, you need to see a doctor and have your stool checked. If there is an infection, active treatment is required. If the test results are normal, the child may have indigestion or a cold abdomen.

3. When the child is not full, hunger causes the gastrointestinal movement to be too fast, and the stool becomes green and watery.

4. If you think your baby eats a lot, it is because of indigestion.

5. In addition, for the health of the baby, it is necessary to take in enough iron. If the baby who eats milk powder containing iron cannot fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, the stool will be yellow-green, the white particles in the stool will be larger, and it will be more likely to have a foul smell.

In the above article, I have clearly analyzed the reasons why babies have yellow-green stools. Therefore, what parents need to do is to analyze the baby's physical condition in accordance with these reasons. When necessary, take your baby to the hospital for a physical examination to fully understand your baby's physical condition. This is the first step to becoming a qualified parent.
