The color of baby's stool is closely related to the feeding method.

The color and texture of the baby's stool are important indicators to reflect the baby's health. Breast-fed and artificially fed babies have different stool colors and textures. This article will introduce the relationship between the color of baby's stool and feeding methods in detail.

Breast-fed baby stool

Breast-fed babies usually have golden or yellow stools, which are mushy in texture, slightly sweet and sour in smell and not smelly. Occasionally, there will be small particles of milk petals or a slight green color. If the baby's stool is acidic, sometimes it will be mixed with some white particles. As long as the baby is in good condition, there is no need to worry.

Artificial feeding of infant feces

The feces of artificially fed babies are mostly yellowish or khaki, with hard texture and dry shape. If there is too much sugar in the milk powder, the stool will become slightly soft and have a slight rancid smell. If the baby excretes light green poop, this is normal, but if the color is dark, it may be a sign of indigestion. At this time, you can give your baby some digestive drugs.

Observe the baby's condition

If the baby who feeds milk powder excretes green stool, it may be that the intestinal peristalsis is too fast or there is inflammation. Pay attention to the baby's condition and seek medical attention in time if there is any abnormality.
