Parents are always particularly worried and afraid when such symptoms occur. Let’s understand what is going on when a three-year-old baby has blood in the stool?

What is the reason for the three-year-old baby's stool to have blood?

Baby anal injury

Some babies will suffer from constipation when they are very young. The hard stools can damage the baby's anus, causing blood in the stool. If your child has trouble defecating, it is recommended to make adjustments to his or her diet, such as eating more fruits and vegetables.

Indigestion caused by food

1. Fat Maldigestion

If the baby's stool is watery, contains particles and has a sour taste, it can basically be concluded that the fat is not fully digested. At this time, mothers should pay attention to reducing fat intake in daily diet, and at the same time increase water intake to reduce the fat content of breast milk; if bottle-feeding is chosen, the fat content of milk powder must be low; when drinking boiled milk, remember to remove the coagulation on the surface.

2. Carbohydrate indigestion

This type of indigestion can cause the child's stool to be smelly, watery and foamy. When this happens, you should first determine whether there is intestinal inflammation. If not, make adjustments to your diet, such as replacing dairy products with thin rice soup, using glucose to increase sweetness, etc.

3. Protein Indigestion

Some babies' stools smell like rotten eggs. This may be because the baby eats a lot of high-protein food but cannot absorb it all. At this time, the mother can add multivitamins to the baby's diet to promote digestion, and at the same time, temporarily prevent the baby from consuming high-protein meat, fish, eggs, milk, etc.

Classification of abnormal stool color in three-year-old babies

red

(1) Fresh blood is separated from the stool and only remains on the surface of the stool, or fresh blood flows out of the anus after defecation. This situation should be taken seriously because the baby may have certain anorectal diseases. It is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.

(2) The stool is red or slightly red and looks like jam and contains red pus. This situation also suggests related diseases, such as amoebic dysentery, intussusception, etc.

(3) The stool contains purulent blood and is mucous. Certain disease-carrying bacteria, such as Campylobacter jejuni, are the culprits for causing this bloody stool.

The above is an introduction to what causes blood in the stool of a three-year-old baby. When such symptoms occur, parents should not be too anxious or afraid. They must find out what causes the baby to have such symptoms and make timely adjustments based on the symptoms. If necessary, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
