For example, after the baby poops every day, I sometimes feel that the poop stinks after changing diapers every day, but my mother should observe the shape and color of the poop every day and sometimes smell it again to judge the baby's health.
Generally, breastfeeding babies don't need much effort to defecate. It is normal to defecate 3 times a day or 3 days 1 time. It's golden yellow, soft and a little sour.
The artificially fed baby's stool is light yellow or light gray, hard and mushy, with a slight odor, once a day 1~2 times, or every other day 1 time.
After adding complementary food, with the increase of the number and types of complementary food, the baby's stool began to approach the adults slowly, and the color began to darken, generally brown or dark brown, thicker than peanut butter, but still mushy. For babies who eat a lot of fish, meat, milk and eggs, because of the decomposition of protein, poop generally smells bad.
Ma Bao can judge the baby's digestion according to the situation in the chart. The chart is for reference only, and you should see a doctor in time in case of special circumstances.
Judging the baby's stomach is not good, indigestion should be judged from the baby's stool (character, color, frequency, smell), eating habits and growth.
Under normal circumstances, the exclusively breast-fed baby's stool is yellow or golden yellow, with uniform consistency such as mushy or pasty, occasionally thin and slightly green, sour but not smelly, and defecates twice a day? Four times.
The stools of artificially fed babies (mainly milk and milk powder) are light yellow or light gray, dry and hard, strip-shaped, often with nipples, and have obvious odor. They poop 1~2 times a day. Some children who eat formula milk have dark green stools because a certain amount of iron is added to the formula milk, and some unabsorbed iron appears dark green after contacting with air through the digestive tract.
When the baby begins to accept complementary foods such as grains, eggs, meat and vegetables, the poop will get closer and closer to adults.
Without changing the amount and type of food, the baby's defecation is more regular, so when this rule is broken, special attention should be paid to observation. When the baby is in a good mental state, we can judge whether the baby has indigestion through the following symptoms:
1. Pull green poop;
2. When sleeping, the body keeps turning and sometimes grinds its teeth;
3. loss of appetite;
4. The baby often says that his stomach is swollen and his stomach hurts;
The baby's nose is blue on both sides, the tongue coating is white and thick, and the sour taste can be smelled in the exhaled air. If the baby has the above symptoms, it can be preliminarily judged as indigestion, and then combined with the baby's specific defecation situation, a simple conclusion can be drawn.
The frequency and characteristics of baby's stool are closely related to the child's age and diet. At different ages and under different dietary conditions, the frequency and characteristics of baby's stool may be very different, but so many different stools may be completely normal.
Generally speaking, 80% of normal stools contain water, and the rest are mainly food residues, including a certain amount of neutral fats, fatty acids, protein which has not been fully digested, carbohydrates and minerals mainly containing calcium salts. There are a lot of bacteria and a little mucus.
In autumn, the baby's autumn diarrhea has increased. Many parents are very concerned about the baby's stool. If the baby doesn't defecate today, the mother will be anxious when to defecate. If I have more diarrhea today, my mother will worry about whether the baby has diarrhea. Do you want to see a doctor?
