Is it normal for newborns to have milk clots?

Perhaps many parents will find that their babies have curds in their stool. This situation is worrying for parents. They are afraid that there is something wrong with the baby's body and that it will affect the physical development of the infant. So what is the matter with curds in the newborn's stool? Is it normal for newborns to have curds in their stool? Let's introduce it in detail below.

Normally, in the eyes of all new mothers, the baby's stool should be formed like an adult's, but in fact, there are many kinds of newborn stools, such as watery, curd, black, dark green, etc. So are these newborn stools normal? Is it normal for newborn stools to have curds?

Every newborn has to go through such a process, that is, unformed stools. Why? Because after the baby is born, their gastrointestinal digestive function has not yet fully matured. At this time, the milk they drink cannot be completely digested, and the milk curds that appear are proteins that have not been digested and absorbed. The situation of milk curds mostly occurs in babies fed with milk powder, because compared with milk powder, breast milk is still easier to digest and absorb. However, it does not mean that breastfed babies will not have this situation. So how should new mothers take care of their babies' stools with milk curds?

Newborns are different from us adults. Adults only defecate once a day, but newborns cannot have a fixed number of bowel movements per day. Sometimes it is 2 or 3 times, sometimes 5 or 6 times, or even more times. So what should new mothers do when the baby has multiple bowel movements and the quality of bowel movements is not ideal? The first point is to take good care of the baby's butt. Because the baby defecates too many times a day, the baby's anus is often in a moist state. If it is not taken care of well, it is easy to cause red buttocks or eczema. After each bowel movement, the baby's butt should be washed with warm water and dried in time.

Furthermore, when the baby has indigestion of food, you can give the baby some digestive medicine. Common digestive medicines for newborns include Mami Love, intestinal probiotics, compound pancreatic enzyme powder, etc. If the baby's stool is very loose and watery and cannot be controlled, you can give the baby Smecta. Breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to their diet. They should not eat cold food or greasy food. Generally, breastfeeding mothers often make a mistake, which is that they think breast milk is easy to digest and absorb, so there is no need to control the feeding time. They feed the baby as long as the baby cries. This does help to comfort the baby, but if the baby sucks too much milk, the food will not be digested and milk curds will appear. This is a common phenomenon in breastfeeding. Breastfed babies should also have a fixed feeding time, which can be appropriately advanced, but they must not feed whenever they want. This is not a good feeding habit. Generally, the baby's bowel movements will become normal after a hundred days. I believe every new mother can survive the short three months. If you take good care of your babies, they will grow up healthily.
