Why is the baby's stool dry? Go to the top

Reason: Insufficient breast milk.

If the mother's milk is insufficient, the baby is always in a state of semi-starvation, and the baby may defecate once every two or three days. In addition to less frequent defecation, there are also manifestations of insufficient breast milk, for example, breastfeeding for more than 20 minutes, no satisfaction after eating, slow weight gain, unreliable sleep and so on.

Countermeasure: Replenish the formula milk powder in time, and the baby's condition will improve immediately.

Reason: The content of protein in breast milk is too high.

The mother's diet directly affects the quality of breast milk. If the mother drinks protein-rich soup such as pig's trotters soup and chicken soup, there will be too much protein in the milk. After the baby eats, the stool is alkaline, hard and dry, and it is difficult to discharge.

Countermeasures: Mom should ensure a balanced diet, eat more vegetables, fruits and coarse grains, drink more water or porridge, drink soup in moderation, and don't eat too greasy.

Reason: Milk powder is not easy to digest.

The raw material of milk powder is milk, which contains more casein and higher calcium salt. It is easy to agglomerate and difficult to digest under the action of gastric acid.

Countermeasures: the formula milk powder should be stirred according to the instructions, not too thick; Give your baby some water or juice between milk meals (such as squeezing half an orange and adding the same amount of warm water); Adding a spoonful of sugar to milk can also effectively relieve constipation.

Reason: The baby's stomach doesn't adapt.

Formula milk powder is made from milk, which contains a variety of nutrients. Some babies' intestines and stomach are not adapted to a certain kind of milk powder, so that they can't get out after drinking a certain brand of milk powder. This is generally related to the baby's stomach, and each baby's physique is different. Some babies are not used to eating foreign brand milk powder, but drinking domestic brand milk powder is no problem.

Countermeasures: try to replace other brands of milk powder; In addition, the milk powder added with Bifidobacterium helps to prevent the baby from constipation. When buying, mothers may wish to buy such milk powder.

Reason: The baby eats less.

Some babies eat too little. After the food is digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, there is less food residue left, and there is not much pressure in the colon, so there will be no defecation.

Countermeasures: Baby eating less may be related to the lack of some nutrients. You can check the baby for trace elements. Mom should also try to make the food look good and promote the baby's appetite.

Reason: The baby has a partial eclipse.

Some babies eat too much meat and too little vegetables and fruits, so the food contains more protein and less cellulose. Protein has many ingredients, and the stool is alkaline and easy to dry; The content of plant cellulose is too little, the contents of colon are too little, and the intestine lacks stimulation, so it is not easy to have defecation. Some children like to eat dry food, drink too little water, have insufficient intestinal stimulation and are prone to constipation.

Countermeasures: First of all, feed your baby more mashed vegetables and fruits, and the ratio of vegetables, fruits and meat should reach at least 3: 1, that is, eat three dishes and one spoonful of meat; For babies who don't like vegetables, mothers can chop up vegetables and put them together with meat to make small jiaozi. They can also cook porridge or noodles with vegetables to increase their food intake.

If the baby doesn't like to drink boiled water, you can add some juice to the water appropriately, and it is also good to use autumn pear cream. But don't use cola, sprite and other drinks instead.

Reason: I didn't develop a good habit of defecation.

If you get into the habit of defecating regularly every day, you want to defecate when the time comes, so that the stool stays in the colon for a short time, and the stool is not too dry and easy to discharge. Some babies feel pain because of dry stool, which causes anal fissure when defecating. Children are afraid of pain and dare not defecate. The longer the interval, the more serious constipation will be.

Countermeasures: Let the baby sit on the bedpan every morning to defecate and form a habit.

For the "fire baby" who gets angry, novice parents don't have to worry. They should respond scientifically. The main countermeasures are summarized as the following three points. I believe that Huowa's parents will benefit a lot, and novice parents will no longer be at a loss.

First, the diet should be light. Baby should eat more fruits and vegetables when getting angry; Eat less fried and baked foods and sweets such as chocolate and cream. In summer, you should also eat less hot fruits such as longan, litchi and mango.

Second, drink more water. Baby gets up in the morning and drinks boiled water, which can replenish the water lost at night, clean the intestines, eliminate waste, awaken the recovery of digestive system and overall function, and clean the mouth. Drink milk or staple food after half an hour, and then drink a few mouthfuls of water to clean your mouth after eating. Some babies don't like drinking boiled water, but they can also drink some juice.

Third, use drugs safely. If the baby gets angry, it must be treated in time, and you must choose a mild child-specific medicine. At present, in seven star tea, three-doll children are used more by their mothers. The clear gunpowder of seven star tea, the third son and the second son is a Chinese patent medicine. Hawthorn, Coicis Semen, Lophatherum Bambusae and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, the four main medicines, come down in one continuous line, have no side effects, are safe and secure, and taste sweet and moderate, so babies are happy to take them.
