The shape and texture of the baby's stool are varied, and the baby who can't talk is actually manifested in the stool. As long as we observe carefully, we can clearly understand the child's health. So how do you tell the color of your baby's stool?
1, neonatal meconium: dark green
Even if the newborn baby doesn't eat anything, it will pull out dark green meconium 6~ 12 hours after birth. The dark green fetus generally needs to last for 2~3 days, 3~5 times a day, and the thick dark green can disappear.
2. Transitional stool: yellow-green
In the days when meconium was discharged, breast-feeding also began. When meconium is discharged, the stool turns yellow-green when it transitions to normal stool. Most newborns have this stage after 2 ~ 3 days of breastfeeding, and then gradually enter the normal yellow stage.
3, breast-fed baby: golden yellow soft paste stool
Because breast milk is rich in oligosaccharides, it can fully stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, so most babies will not have hard stools, and there will be no obvious golden smell, and occasionally there will be slight green.
4, artificially fed baby: khaki hard paste stool
Babies fed with formula milk have less stools, which are generally dry, rough and slightly hard as ointment.
5, stool after eating complementary food: dark color.
The baby began to add complementary food from 4 months. With the increase in the number and types of complementary foods, the baby's defecation began to gradually approach adults and began to darken.
The color of baby's stool is many, and the color of stool is different in different periods.
