And these colorful poops have their own secrets, do you understand?
When Lily was not pregnant, she watched her friend change the baby's diaper, and a stench came from the pavement. She quickly hid away. While lamenting the greatness of Bao Ma,
I feel that I can't accept it.
Especially those precious parents will look at the baby's poop carefully and make her feel incompetent.
When Lily gave birth to her own baby, she changed the baby's diaper every day and began to watch the baby's poop every day. Through careful observation, Lily found that the baby's poop had all shapes and colors.
Smelling and looking like this every day doesn't make me feel sick at all. Do you still feel a little poop? Cute? . My best friend told her that these poops can actually reflect the baby's health.
What color does the baby stool have?
1. Black poop
Generally speaking, if a baby takes too much iron, he will have a black stool. Although it has always been advocated to supplement iron and blood, for babies, excessive iron
It will burden the baby's stomach.
Supplementing iron is ok, but supplementing the transition will be counterproductive and will also affect the absorption of other elements. In addition, for example, some foods such as avocado or some drugs will also produce black poop after the baby eats it. Parents should pay attention to observation and then judge.
There is also a situation that parents need to be alert, which is caused by the baby's gastrointestinal bleeding and needs to go to the hospital for medical treatment.
2. Yellow poop
Also divided into a variety of yellow. Like golden or brown, it's a breast-fed baby,
Like light yellow or khaki, you often eat milk powder. Breast-fed babies may have a little green poop.
There is also the cause of food, especially after the addition of complementary food, the pigment contained in the food can't be absorbed by the baby, and whatever color food he eats, he will poop. Eating yellow food will also lead to yellow poop.
3. Red poop
If the baby eats red food such as watermelon, red pitaya and tomato, because the pigment can't be metabolized, the baby will poop red. This kind of situation, when you stop eating food of this color, generally won't exist.
There is no harm to the baby. However, observe the baby's stool, whether it is blood or red pigment, because the baby anal bleeding or gastrointestinal bleeding may have red stool.
Observe the baby's ass for bleeding. If not, observe the stool again. If the red color is mixed in the stool instead of on the surface, it may be that there is something wrong with the intestine and you should go to the hospital for examination.
4. Green poop
Because breast milk is easy to digest, but the baby can't make full use of the nutrients in breast milk, so it will pull green poop.
In addition, if the baby is too hungry or too full, he will also poop green. If the baby is too full, nutrition can't be absorbed, or diarrhea caused by indigestion will lead to green poop.
It is rare when the baby is hungry.
Green poop is a slippery liquid, and the amount is still very small. Another situation is that the baby eats iron-containing formula and consumes too much iron, but this green is close to dark green.
5. Gray poop
This is the embodiment of jaundice in children. If parents observe that the baby's poop is white or grayish white, then they must take it to see a doctor. The shape of baby's stool
Generally speaking, during the second month, the baby's poop is relatively thin. After adding complementary food, it will gradually take shape as the baby grows.
The baby's stool should be banana-shaped, the ground is soft, and the surface is smooth, which is normal. If constipation occurs, there will be sausage-shaped stool with surface cracks. If it is more serious, it will be dry and hard, and the texture will be harder. A number of small pieces are stuck together, sausage-shaped. If it is more serious, it will poop like a nut, and it will be as hard as a rabbit's poop.
Like a soft semi-solid, the edge of the small piece is not smooth, which belongs to soft stool and mild diarrhea. If there is no fixed shape and it is porridge-like, then the baby's diarrhea is more serious. If the baby's stool is found to be watery and does not contain solid substances, then the baby's diarrhea is very serious.
