Li Yu's daughter is just six months old. She gradually began to add complementary food to her daughter's diet, but after eating it for a long time, she always felt that something was wrong with her daughter. Sure enough, the last time I changed my daughter's diaper, she found something was wrong. When I used to drink only milk, my baby's poop was very thin and smelled bad. After starting to eat complementary food, the baby's poop became a little sticky, the color became lighter and it didn't stink so much. Looking at different forms of poop, Li Yu is worried about whether her daughter is constipated. So she consulted in the treasure mother group, and another experienced treasure mother told Li Yu that this was a normal change, which was caused by changes in diet structure. As long as the baby defecates smoothly, it is probably no problem.
Therefore, from the baby's excrement, we can see their health status:
1, urine
After seven days of birth, urine volume and frequency will increase. If you exaggerate, you can pee more than 20 times a day. Because the newborn's diet is monotonous, the urine is clear, usually pale yellow. At this stage, it is normal to change seven or eight diapers for your baby every day. It should be noted that some newborns do not consume much water and milk at birth, so the frequency of urination is not high, and even some babies will excrete pink urine when their renal function is immature. This situation will generally improve within 3-5 days, so parents need not worry too much.
2, feces
Compared with the shape of urine, the shape of feces is grotesque. The feces of exclusively breastfed children are generally golden yellow, soft and strong. If you are a child who drinks formula milk powder, the feces are generally light yellow and sticky. The baby will defecate about 5-6 times a day, maybe only once a day, or only once every few days, so as to save the stomach. If the baby is not crying because of difficulty in defecation, there is no need to be overly nervous.
The color of feces can also convey the baby's intestinal state. Some black feces are usually meconium excreted within one day after the baby is born. This black feces has no peculiar smell, and its ingredients are mainly fetal fat and amniotic fluid. After meconium is discharged, with the baby eating and drinking Lazar, the color of stool will gradually fade, from black stool at first to dark green, which is the transition period. About five days after birth, the baby's meconium is almost exhausted, and the color of the feces will turn golden yellow, and sometimes it will turn yellow-green. This kind of poop is very thin, and it is usually breast-fed babies.
In addition, some babies' feces will have various colors. If it is gray feces, it is likely to represent the baby's intestinal flora imbalance, or even intestinal interference, so you should seek medical attention in time. If it is red poop, first consider whether the baby has eaten food with similar pigments such as pitaya. If not, it is likely to be intestinal bleeding, so be sure to check it in time.
