"How many times does the baby pee every day?
Why didn't you pee the first day?
Baby's urine is sometimes yellow, but sometimes it turns white and red. Should I go to the hospital at once? Or wait for the baby to adjust slowly?
Girls, I don't know what to do.
The change of baby's urine color can reveal health information. Let's identify this "one bubble urine" together.
Newborns usually urinate within 24 hours after birth, but some babies will delay urination until about 36 hours after birth.
Generally speaking, the baby's urine volume is very small in the first three days of life, and sometimes the diaper is mixed with meconium, which is really easy to be ignored. So I want to sum up the amount and frequency of urination of the baby in each period.
But due to age, fluid intake and other factors. The frequency of urination varies greatly from baby to baby, and there is no exact uniform standard. So sisters compare our baby's urination with the table below!
If the baby urinates too little or too much every day for a long time, it is necessary to consider what is wrong with the baby and may need to see a doctor in time.
In addition to the frequency of urination, color and smell are also one of the important indicators to measure your baby's health.
Baby's fresh urine has no special smell, but after being exposed to air for a period of time, urea will release ammonia separately, which will produce a slight smell.
If the baby's urine suddenly has obvious odor, it may be because of less liquid intake and less perspiration. At this time, Ma Bao can ask the baby to increase the milk quantity or water quantity appropriately, and then observe. If there is still no obvious improvement, it is necessary to seek medical examination in time to rule out the early manifestations of certain diseases.
Now, let's judge the baby's health from his colorful urine!
Don't worry. Yellow light, bright yellow.
Under the perfect combination of urine yellow (vitamin B2) and water, normal urine is light yellow and has no obvious smell.
If the yellow color of urine is sometimes too bright, it may be because the child has taken a variety of vitamins recently. If the body can't metabolize too many vitamins, it will penetrate into the urine to improve the brightness of the urine, which has nothing to do with getting angry!
In addition to the normal color numbers, today's focus is on those red, orange, blue and green, which are comparable to the "odd" colors of the rainbow.
Because of these strange pigments, the sisters' judgment on the health of peeing was misled.
Color number 1 watermelon red
The baby urinates a strange color like blood, and adults will be more panic when they see it!
Calm down! Throw this pot to the dish first.
For example, if children are given red pitaya, beets, purple blackberries and mulberries, parents should be prepared for red urine-
Because the red pigment in these fruits is dyed by urine! Color! Agent!
After ruling out the cause of food, let's see if the baby has taken medicine recently.
If you take some antibiotics, such as rifampicin, phenazopyridine and isoniazid, the urine will turn red.
Danger signal: after excluding the influence of food and medicine, it is necessary to consider whether hematuria is true.
Sehao No.2 Tianmeicheng
If one day you find your baby urinating orange juice, don't panic! Steady! It may also be caused by "food coloring".
For example, give a child a carrot. The beta-carotene in the carrot is an orange pigment, which can disguise a bland urine as "fresh orange juice".
In addition to food, various anti-inflammatory drugs and antidiarrheal drugs have the same dyeing function, which can dye urine orange.
In addition, if you drink less water, urine will become "concentrated orange juice". After drinking some water, the color of urine will become lighter next time.
Danger signal: If the baby's eyes are yellow and accompanied by orange urine, it may be a signal of impaired liver function, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for routine urine examination immediately.
Color No.3 Blueberry Blue, Asparagus Green
I'm afraid I'll turn green when I see the child "let the green water go" beep.
"Asparagus" and "Blueberry" will be very proud if they can see your panicked face, because most of these scary events are written by them.
Asparagus and blueberry both contain magical anthocyanins, which can be green or blue under alkaline conditions. If asparagus or blueberries are eaten too much, the dyeing effect of anthocyanins will be reflected in urine.
In addition, blue-green urine can also appear after injecting methylene blue injection or using diuretics such as aminopterin, methylene blue, indigo carmine, creosote and salicylic acid.
Danger signal: blue urine may appear in patients with primary hypercalcemia, vitamin D poisoning, cholera and typhus.
Color number 4 chocolate brown
In addition to drinking less water, eating more foods such as soybeans and red beans may also turn pale yellow urine into dark brown.
If the culprit cannot be found in the diet, it is necessary to review whether the baby has taken these drugs recently, such as antimalarials, antibiotics metronidazole and nitrofurantoin, muscle relaxants and so on.
Danger signal: If the child urinates "soy sauce color" (dark brown soy sauce color), it may be caused by serious diseases, such as hemolytic disease, acute nephritis and acute icteric hepatitis. You need to see a doctor at once.
Color No.5 honey yellow, dark yellow
Most urine of this color number can be changed by increasing liquid intake, and breast-fed babies can increase their breast-feeding amount within six months; Babies fed with formula milk powder can be properly hydrated.
Danger signal: If the baby cries when urinating and the urine color does not improve after rehydration, it may be a urinary tract infection, so it is necessary to see a doctor in time.
Color No.6 milky white, transparent
Drinking too much water will dilute urine yellow, and light yellow urine will become transparent.
In this case, reducing the amount of water can help the urine return to normal color.
But if the baby's urine is cloudy and milky white, don't think about it. Go directly to the hospital for examination and rule out the possibility of urinary tract infection and other diseases!
Danger signal: A large amount or high frequency of milky white urine may be caused by prostatitis, gonorrhea, pyelonephritis, urethritis, cystitis, renal tuberculosis, etc.
Color number 7 passion foam
If the baby urinates too long and urinates too fast, foam urine will appear. This situation does not need special treatment.
However, if there are bubbles in urine and the bubbles last for a long time, we should pay attention to them. Maybe it's protein's fault.
Danger signal: If the baby has kidney function problems, it will "leak" protein into the urine. In this case, it is best to go to the hospital for routine urine examination. If there is any suspicious situation, further 24-hour urine examination will be done.
Once the baby has a urinary tract infection, it will have a fever, often accompanied by frequent urination, urgency and pain, but they can't express it in words.
If the baby often cries, doesn't eat milk, is agitated, always resists urination, cries when urinating, or the baby often has diaper rash in the perineum and the diaper smells, be sure to take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Beware of urinary tract infection
Urinary tract infection is a common disease in children, especially in infants under 2 years old. The incidence rate of baby girls is obviously higher than that of baby boys, which is about 3~4 times.
The common manifestations of urinary tract infection are frequent urination, urgency and dysuria. In addition to obvious symptoms of fever for no reason, when the baby has the following abnormal symptoms, he should seek medical advice in time.
Change diapers frequently, but the urine output is not much each time;
It can control urination, but it can't;
The baby has a diaper rash in her genitals and the diaper smells.
What should I do if I get caught accidentally?
1. Drink more water.
Encourage children to drink plenty of water, which is conducive to flushing urethra, inhibiting bacterial growth and reproduction, and promoting the discharge of bacterial toxins and inflammatory secretions;
2. Change diapers frequently
Diapers should not be too small and too tight, and their fabrics should be cotton fabrics with good hygroscopicity, not chemical fiber fabrics;
Step 3 pay attention to hygiene
Take a bath frequently, wash your ass with stool logistics, and be careful not to hold your urine;
adequate sleep
In order to avoid reducing the body's resistance to diseases due to overwork, we should pay attention to ensuring sleep.
Sister Yue has something to say:
Sisters, no matter how often the baby urinates or when the color and smell are abnormal, don't panic. First find the possible reasons, such as diet, work and rest, etc., and then ask a doctor to check the diagnosis and make a diagnosis in time.
