Why is there milk curd in the stool of a five-month-old baby?

The baby's physical health is an issue that all parents should pay attention to, because we all know that the baby is still young, and when he has some diseases, the harm to them will be greater. Many parents will find that five-month-old babies have curds in their stool. When this problem occurs, parents need to understand what factors will cause this situation.

Normal stool contains 80% water, and the rest is mucus, bacteria and food residues. The frequency, color and odor of stool vary among different age groups due to different food ingredients. The stool of newborns in the first three days after birth is meconium, which is sticky stool, dark green and odorless. After feeding, it turns yellow and is the stool of infants.

Guidance:

Before adding complementary food, infants fed with breast milk have yellow or golden yellow, mushy stools, sometimes slightly watery or green, with a sour smell, and defecate 2-4 times a day. If the original defecation is once a day, and suddenly increases to 4-5 times, and the water content increases, it should be considered pathological. If the normal defecation is 4-5 times a day, the child is generally in good condition and gains weight, it is a normal phenomenon. After adding complementary food, the number of defecation can be reduced, basically 1-2 times/day.

Artificially fed babies have pale yellow or gray stools, which are hard in texture. Because milk contains more protein, there is an obvious odor after the decomposition of protein, 1-2 times a day, and sometimes there are milk lumps. If mixed-feeding babies are fed with starchy foods at the same time, the stools are not frequent, but the amount is dark brown, the hardness is better than that of pure milk-fed babies, and the odor is also stronger. If vegetable puree is added, it may be green. If the stool odor is particularly obvious, it means that the protein is not digested well. If the stool has foam, it means that the carbohydrates are not digested well. If the appearance is oily, it means that the fat is not digested well. If there are milk curds in the stool, most of them are soap lumps formed by the combination of undigested fat and calcium or magnesium. The amount is small and meaningless.

I hope that after understanding the above content, every parent and friend will pay attention to it. Only in this way can they better help themselves, ensure the health of their baby, reduce some adverse factors, and the impact and harm on their body. This is also the common sense that every parent needs to understand in life.
