Newborn baby diarrhea with milk curds

Since the digestive organs of newborns are not fully developed, they obtain the nutrients they need for their physical development through breast milk or formula. However, newborns are very prone to diarrhea and milk curds. This situation has a great impact on the physical development of newborns, and parents need to take timely measures to regulate it. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if newborns have diarrhea and milk curds.

In fact, it is a common phenomenon for babies to have curds in their stool, which is mainly caused by incomplete absorption of protein by the baby's digestive system. Whether it is breast milk or formula milk, there is a large amount of protein in it. If it is not fully digested, it is easy to form milk curds.

1. What causes protein to not be fully digested?

1. The baby's gastrointestinal tract is delicate and the digestive system is not yet fully developed. Some of the protein that enters the baby's gastrointestinal tract cannot be completely digested into small molecules for the human body to absorb. The remaining protein combines with minerals in food to form curds.

Under normal circumstances, the size of milk curds will be smaller than rice grains and will not have any effect on the baby. This situation will gradually improve as the baby grows and his gastrointestinal development improves.

2. The baby eats too much milk. If the mother does not cultivate the baby's eating habits and only takes the baby's crying as a signal that the baby needs to be fed, it will easily lead to the baby eating too much milk, which will easily cause milk curds. Therefore, parents must learn to judge whether the baby is really hungry and feed the baby according to the baby's needs.

So sometimes there are curds in the baby's stool, which is not a gastrointestinal problem, but caused by incomplete digestion. In this case, parents don't need to be too anxious.

2. Parents need to be vigilant in the following situations.

1. When the baby is defecating, milk curds or large particles of milk curds suddenly appear.

2. After the examination, it was confirmed that there was no viral or bacterial infection, but the characteristics of the stool were still abnormal.

3. The baby's appetite has decreased, and he keeps crying and is difficult to comfort, which means that the baby's stomach and abdomen are uncomfortable.

4. The stool has a strong sour smell, and the stool odor becomes significantly worse.

These situations are all caused by the baby's indigestion. The main reasons are overfeeding, inability to adapt to new complementary foods, changing milk too quickly which makes the stomach and intestines unable to adapt, unreasonable diet structure, cold, etc., which cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

To solve this problem, parents can restore digestion by adjusting the amount and type of food consumed.
