The baby in the confinement period has green poop

It is difficult to determine the physical health of a baby who is not even one month old. The baby cannot speak and cannot communicate with the parents when he is not feeling well. Moreover, babies in the confinement period have poor body resistance and their health is easily affected. At this time, it is necessary to identify the condition based on the child's stool. Some babies in the confinement period have green stools. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Let's take a look at the main factors below.

If the mother does not change the baby's diet, and the baby's poop is dark green, occurs more frequently, and is thin and foamy, then you should consider whether the baby has caught a cold or has indigestion.

When the baby's abdomen catches a cold or has indigestion, he or she will usually experience milk regurgitation and green stools.

Countermeasures: Mothers should avoid spicy and cold foods to avoid affecting the baby's stomach and intestines, and pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm. Mothers need to decide whether to see a doctor based on their baby's condition.

When the baby is not full, the baby's gastrointestinal motility is too fast due to hunger, so the bilirubin in the intestines has not yet been converted and is excreted from the stool. The stool becomes green and thin, with less amount and more mucus. This is a hunger bowel movement.

Countermeasure: Just feed your baby according to the recommended feeding amount. Increase the amount of milk appropriately to ensure your baby is full.

Consume less bile

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 the baby eats a lot, it is indigestion.

Countermeasure: You can give your baby some probiotics.

If a baby who eats iron-fortified 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.

Countermeasures: Generally speaking, you can just ignore it. The situation will gradually improve after the baby is 6 months old. Feed your baby with breast milk as much as possible! Supplement vitamin C appropriately to improve the condition of poor iron absorption.
