Color of stool in newborn baby with jaundice

The birth of a newborn brings joy to the family, but also careful care and various tensions. Many mothers only sleep for a few hours a day. Not only do they have to feed their babies, but they also have to pay attention to their babies' bowel movements, spitting up reactions, and body temperature. They also have to deal with jaundice problems after the birth of newborns, which can be detected through the color of the baby's stool.

When a newborn baby has high jaundice, it can be observed during the treatment that the stool is loose and green in color. This situation is mainly because the baby's meconium has not been excreted in time and constipation affects the digestive tract function. Especially in the early stages of the disease, it is important to pay attention in a timely manner and understand the specific circumstances of jaundice, but it can gradually turn into yellow after treatment.

However, if the stool becomes clay-colored in the early stages of the disease, it is recommended to consider whether it is pathological jaundice. This situation may affect the baby's bile duct health, and it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by bile duct malformation. A comprehensive physical examination must be conducted.

When jaundice is too severe, it will not only change the color of the stool, but also be accompanied by a series of uncomfortable symptoms. If the jaundice is caused by pathological factors, it is likely to cause cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, etc. if not treated in time. The stool of a newborn baby is usually yellow in color, but if you find that the baby's stool gradually turns white, it cannot be ruled out that there is a problem with the liver and bile duct. At this time, examination and treatment are particularly critical.

Although the baby's jaundice is too high, the harm caused by pathological factors is very great. However, excessive jaundice is a common symptom in newborns. In addition to paying attention to the color of the stool, you should also pay close attention to whether the baby's head and eyes are yellow, and if accompanied by symptoms such as poor appetite and unstable body temperature, you should pay attention to it in time. Generally, after the jaundice is discharged normally, the baby's stool will gradually turn yellow and return to normal. At this time, parents can relax.
