And these colorful poops have their own secrets, you know?
When Lily was not pregnant, watching her friend change the baby's diaper, there was a stench on the sidewalk. She quickly hid. While lamenting the greatness of Ma Bao,
I don't think I can accept it.
Especially those precious parents, will carefully look at the baby's poop and make her feel incompetent.
After giving birth to her baby, Lily changed the baby's diaper every day and began to observe the baby's poop every day. Through careful observation, Lily found that the baby's poop has various shapes and colors.
Smelling and looking like this every day doesn't make me feel sick at all. Do you still feel a little poopy? Cute? . My best friend told her that these poops can actually reflect the baby's health.
What color is the baby stool?
1. Black poop
Generally speaking, if the baby takes too much iron, there will be black stool. Although it has been advocated to supplement iron and blood, for babies, iron is excessive.
It will burden the baby's stomach.
It is possible to supplement iron, but the transition will be counterproductive and will also affect the absorption of other elements. In addition, some foods such as avocado or some drugs will also produce black poop after the baby eats them. Parents should pay attention to observation and then judge.
There is also a situation that parents need to be vigilant, which is caused by the baby's gastrointestinal bleeding and needs to go to the hospital for medical treatment.
2. yellow poop
It is also divided into various yellows. Like gold or brown, breast-fed babies,
Like light yellow or khaki, and often eat milk powder. Breastfed babies may have a little green poop.
There is also the cause of food, especially after adding complementary food, the pigment contained in the food can not be absorbed by the baby, and the food of any color will poop. Eating yellow food can also lead to yellow poop.
3. Red poop
If the baby eats red food such as watermelon, red pitaya and tomato, because the pigment can't be metabolized, the baby will turn red. This kind of situation, when you stop eating this color of food, generally does not exist.
No harm to the baby. But observe the baby's stool, whether it is blood or red pigment, because the baby anal bleeding or gastrointestinal bleeding may have red stool.
Observe whether the baby's ass is bleeding. If not, observe the stool again. If the red color is mixed in the stool instead of the surface, it may be that there is something wrong with the intestine and you should go to the hospital for examination.
4. Green poop
Because breast milk is easy to digest, but the baby can't make full use of the nutrients in breast milk, so it will pull green poop.
In addition, if the baby is too hungry or too full, it will turn green. If the baby is too full to absorb nutrients, or diarrhea caused by indigestion, it will lead to green stool.
Babies are seldom hungry.
Green poop is a slippery liquid, and the amount is still very small. In another case, the baby ate iron-containing formula and took in too much iron, but the green color was close to dark green.
5. Gray poop
This is the embodiment of jaundice in children. If parents observe that the baby's poop is white or grayish white, then be sure to take it to the doctor. The shape of a baby's stool
Generally speaking, in the second month, the baby's stool is sparse. After adding complementary food, it will gradually take shape as the baby grows.
The baby's stool should be banana-shaped, with soft ground and smooth surface, which is normal. If constipation occurs, there will be sausage-like stool with cracks on the surface. If it is more serious, it will be dry and hard, and the texture will be harder. Many small pieces are stuck together in the shape of sausages. If it is more serious, it will shit like a nut and as hard as a rabbit's poop.
Like a soft semi-solid, the edge of a small piece is not smooth, which belongs to soft stool and mild diarrhea. If there is no fixed shape and it is porridge-like, then the baby's diarrhea is more serious. If the baby's stool is found to be watery and contains no solid matter, then the baby's diarrhea is very serious.
