Is it normal for a newborn to poop after eating?

We all know that when a son is born, he has just left his mother's body, so he needs a process of adapting to the external environment, and his body organs are not particularly mature. This will cause many newborns to get sick after birth. Some newborns will defecate immediately after drinking their mother's milk. Is it normal for newborns to defecate after eating?

This depends on the age of the child. If it is a young child, this is often normal, and the younger the child, the more normal it is. At the same time, pay attention to whether the frequency and characteristics of bowel movements are normal. If there are abnormalities, consider whether there is a disease. If the child has milk curds, it is considered that the fat and protein consumed cannot be completely digested. You can consider switching to hydrolyzed protein milk powder or the mother's diet can be appropriately light. If you are still worried, you can take probiotics orally.

Babies who are breastfed have frequent bowel movements from birth. After 2 to 3 months after birth, they still have frequent bowel movements, more than 4 times a day. Their stools may also be thinner, but without mucus, pus or blood. However, the child is in good spirits and has a good appetite, and has no other discomfort. What is most important is that his weight gain is normal. This type of diarrhea is called "physiological diarrhea".

The reason for this is mainly related to the composition of breast milk. Generally, after starting to add complementary foods, the bowel movements will naturally improve and the frequency will naturally decrease. Since this type of diarrhea has no significant effect on children's growth and development, it generally does not require special treatment.

Newborns are different and have different living habits. My son was like this during those days. He urinated every fifteen minutes (in winter) and didn't count his bowel movements. He often urinated again right after being fed. It was just a little troublesome, but there was no other discomfort. The situation did not change until he started eating complementary foods after more than six months. Now my son is over three years old and is doing well. So as long as your baby has no other discomfort, you don't have to worry.
