Eight month old baby has loose stools

The younger the baby is, the less developed their gastrointestinal tract is, so the chance of gastrointestinal problems is higher. The problem of loose stools is very common in both adults and babies, and is mainly related to a cold stomach or unhygienic food intake. However, if the stool of an eight-month-old baby is too loose, parents will be very worried. So what are the causes of the loose stool of an eight-month-old baby?

Eight month old baby has yellow loose stools

The child's current bowel movement frequency is generally normal, but the nature of the bowel movement is abnormal. For young children, it is recommended to first check the stool routine to rule out infection. At the same time, if diarrhea persists and there is foam in the stool, you need to be alert to the possibility of lactose intolerance. If the diarrhea is obvious and the baby looks very painful when defecating, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

1. Beef oatmeal porridge: Ingredients: 30 grams of minced beef, 20 grams of oats, and appropriate amount of water.

Method: Soak the oats and wash them clean. Cook the oats into oatmeal. Cook the ground beef in the oatmeal. Put the cooked oatmeal beef porridge into a blender, blend it into a paste, and then feed your baby with a spoon.

2. Chicken and vegetable porridge: Ingredients: appropriate amount of rice, 1 chicken leg, appropriate amount of fungus (soaked in water), appropriate amount of Chinese cabbage, and a little sesame oil.

Method: Wash the chicken legs, remove the bones, and cut into small dices. Boil water in a pot, blanch the diced chicken legs to remove the blood foam, pour out the dirty water, and clean the diced chicken legs. Soak the fungus, wash it, and chop it into small pieces. Tear the green leaves by hand. Wash the rice clean, put the diced chicken thighs, fungus and rice into a pressure cooker, pour in appropriate amount of water, cover the pot, cook over high heat until the high pressure comes up, then turn to low heat and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and wait for the pressure cooker to release gas, then open the lid, turn on the heat, add the green vegetable leaves, stir evenly, and heat for 30 seconds. Serve the porridge and eat it while it is still warm.

Raising a child is not easy. Babies in the first 6 months are not so prone to getting sick because they have just been separated from the mother's body and their resistance is still quite strong. After 6 months, the baby's resistance becomes weaker and weaker, so if the pregnant mother finds that her baby has abnormal bowel movements at eight months, she should pay close attention to the baby's mental state and seek medical attention in time if any bad situation is found.
