What to do if the baby always has green poop

Babies have poor body resistance, and sometimes when there is a problem with their body, it is difficult to see the signs from the surface. The baby's excrement reflects the child's health condition to a certain extent. If there is any abnormality in the body, it will be reflected in the excrement. In daily life, many parents find that their children always have green stools. So, what should you do if your baby always has green poop? Let’s take a closer look below.

Green stools in babies are generally caused by the following reasons. Mothers should pay attention to compare and determine what causes the baby to have green stools, and prescribe the right medicine to choose a treatment method suitable for the baby. What is the reason for the baby's green stool? The reasons are:

1. Babies may spit up milk or have green stools if they catch a cold or have indigestion. If there is a bacterial infection, active treatment is required. If the test results are normal, the baby may have indigestion or a cold abdomen.

3. During the digestion process of fat, less bile is consumed, and the excess bile is excreted in the stool, making the stool green. If the mother thinks that the baby eats a lot, it means that he has indigestion, and she can give the baby some probiotics.

4. If a baby who eats iron-containing milk powder cannot fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, his stool will be yellow-green, the white particles in the stool will be larger, and will be more likely to have a foul odor.

5. When babies first start eating vegetable puree, they often excrete a small amount of green vegetable puree in their stool. Some mothers often think that this is indigestion and stop adding vegetable puree. In fact, this phenomenon is common when healthy babies change their food.

It is a normal physiological phenomenon for babies to have green stools, which is usually caused by dietary factors. As long as the diet is adjusted, the baby's green stools will soon return to normal. But if the mother is still worried, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for stool testing. If it is normal, it is considered that the green stool is caused by physiological reasons. This is not a disease and no special treatment is required. What should I do if my baby has green stools? If the baby has green stools due to the following conditions, you can treat them symptomatically:

1. If your baby's stool is green due to indigestion, you can give him some spleen-strengthening and digestion-resolving oral liquids.

2. If a breastfed baby has green stools, the mother should avoid spicy and cold foods to avoid affecting the baby's stomach.

3. If the green stool is caused by iron, breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to the intake of vitamins, which can promote iron absorption. They should eat more vegetables and appropriate amounts of fruits. At this time, mothers should try not to consume too much fat, and pay attention to water intake. The daily water intake is 1300ml. At the same time, you can give the baby some water after feeding.
