Diarrhea may be 1: physiological diarrhea.
Diarrhea begins within a few days after birth. Every day, the stool is thin and yellow or yellowish green, ranging from 2-3 times to 4-5 times, lasting for several months or even half a year. But the baby grows well and is not thin. This symptom is called "infantile physiological diarrhea" in medicine, and it is more common in infants who are exclusively breastfed under 6 months.
Prevention: Mom should eat less shrimp and crab food and all kinds of raw and cold food.
Nursing: If you can't change the baby's diaper and clean the buttocks in time, it may cause redness and swelling of the buttocks and even local infection. Therefore, diapers should be changed as long as they are wet. Every time you change a baby's diaper, you should also clean your buttocks first, and apply buttock cream when necessary to protect local skin. With the increase of age, the baby's physiological diarrhea will heal itself without taking medicine.
Diarrhea may be 2: improper feeding.
Feeding children porridge paste too early, too much carbohydrate will cause fermentation and digestive disorders. Failing to add complementary food on time, suddenly adding food before weaning changes the food composition, leading to digestive dysfunction and diarrhea due to inadaptability.
Prevention: For 1 and babies over 4 months old, you can start with a small amount of rice flour and gradually add complementary food, starting with 2 spoonfuls, and then gradually increase the amount until the baby's intestines and stomach adapt and the stool is normal. 2, add a variety of complementary foods, adapt to one, and then add another. 3. Carnivorous foods should not be eaten too much at a time, so as not to cause an excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract of infants, leading to digestive and absorption disorders in the gastrointestinal tract and diarrhea.
Nursing: temporarily stop adding complementary food when diarrhea, and then add it gradually after diarrhea improves. Nurses should know the baby's consumption, and don't feed the baby too much food at one time, especially meat.
Diarrhea may be 3: lactose intolerance.
The sugar in dairy products is mainly lactose, and its digestion depends on lactose digestive enzymes. Without this enzyme, lactose cannot be digested. Some babies stop eating milk and dairy products after weaning. Because of long-term "disuse", lactase activity gradually decreases with age, and eventually becomes lactase deficiency. Or because of the baby's diarrhea, intestinal mucosal cells are damaged, which reduces its ability to secrete lactase, which is often called "secondary lactose intolerance". If you drink milk, you may have symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal distension, which is always called lactose intolerance. There is also congenital lactose intolerance, which means that there is no lactase from birth. Whether drinking breast milk or milk will cause obvious diarrhea.
Prevention: 1, eat whole grains. Babies who are lactose intolerant will have serious symptoms when drinking milk on an empty stomach, but when eating with other foods at the same time, the lactose concentration may be "diluted" in certain circumstances. Chylous action in gastrointestinal tract can improve lactose absorption rate. If you eat some biscuits and bread before drinking milk, you will reduce the exhaust and uncomfortable feeling. (After the baby adds complementary food) 2. A few times. Even infants with lactase deficiency can tolerate a small amount of milk (30-50 ml) without intolerance. Therefore, when a mother feeds her baby, she can also eat a small amount of it many times, and it is advisable not to exceed 50 ml at a time. Drinking more than a few times a day can still achieve the recommended milk quantity. And with the passage of time, the lactase in the baby's intestine will gradually increase (medically called "enzyme induction"), so that the baby can reduce the reaction of lactose intolerance or avoid the symptoms of lactose intolerance. 3. Drink yogurt. Yogurt is made by adding a certain amount of lactic acid bacteria to ferment. In the fermentation process, 20%-30% of lactose in raw milk is decomposed, and protein and fat are also decomposed into small components, which are easier to digest and absorb, so drinking yogurt can avoid discomfort. (Baby/kloc-try to drink this after 0/year old. Generally speaking, the formula milk is mainly within 3 years old. )
Nursing: Diarrhea caused by lactose intolerance is generally not serious. As long as you don't eat dairy products, you will get better in one day. Congenital can choose special lactose-free formula.
Diarrhea may be 4: autumn diarrhea
Diarrhea in autumn is usually caused by rotavirus, and the peak of rotavirus diarrhea is from 10 to February of the following year. Rotavirus is easy to break out in dry and cold seasons. Because the local immunity and intestinal digestive system of infants from 6 months to 2 years old are not fully developed, rotavirus infection and diarrhea are prone to occur.
Prevention: 1. Don't take your baby to crowded public places and avoid contact with children with diarrhea. 2. Toys and touchable furniture used by babies should always be washed with clean water; Always wash your hands before eating. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and tap water before feeding your baby. 4, hot and cold should be moderate, prevent colds, so that the baby can resist the invasion of rotavirus. Don't let the baby touch anything that may be infected with the virus. 6. Oral rotavirus vaccine.
Nursing: 1, and the most important thing is to ensure fluid intake. If the baby does not vomit, parents should patiently and frequently feed oral rehydration, just like intravenous drip, bit by bit. As long as dehydration is controlled, the baby's condition will not deteriorate. 2, the treatment of autumn diarrhea, antibiotics are ineffective, on the contrary, it may also cause normal intestinal flora imbalance in children, aggravating diarrhea symptoms. 3. You can continue to eat and breastfeed. For babies who are artificially fed within 6 months, the milk is diluted with rice soup and changed to a normal diet after 2 -3 days; Babies over 6 months old can eat porridge, noodles or soft rice, add some vegetables, and eat fresh fruit and juice to supplement potassium. In short, we should encourage eating and feed nutritious and digestible food until 2 weeks after diarrhea stops. 4. Babies in the complementary food addition period can temporarily stop some complementary foods, such as meat and eggs, and then start eating after diarrhea is relieved. Stop complementary food for no more than 3 days. It is equally important to ensure that your baby needs calories and nutrition. 5. If the body temperature exceeds 38℃, you should take antipyretics according to the instructions of the medicine, and pay attention to the dosage and time interval. Rotavirus diarrhea is self-limited, and the course of disease is usually 5- 10 days. If most children are taken care of properly, there will be no problems after recovery. If it is not accompanied by serious symptoms such as vomiting, it can also be treated at home.
Diarrhea may be 5: bacillary dysentery.
When all kinds of bacteria make waves, the incidence of bacillary dysentery will increase. Usually, when the baby has abdominal pain, there will be a fever of 39 C or even higher, and the number of stools will increase, showing purulent bloody stools. There is often paroxysmal abdominal pain before diarrhea, and the "purring" sound in his stomach will increase. Due to frequent diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance in the body, the baby is seriously dehydrated, the skin elasticity is poor, and the whole body is weak.
Prevention: 1, hand washing is very important. Wash your hands before cooking; Wash your hands immediately after touching meat and eggs; Don't leave your nails too long, and don't wash your hands directly with a ring or watch. 2. Try to cook the food and avoid eating leftovers. Fresh food is rich in nutrition, and the nutritional value of leftover food has been greatly reduced. Moreover, the more nutritious the meal, the easier it is for bacteria to multiply, and if it is not heated enough, it is easy to cause food poisoning. Mom, don't try to judge food with your nose and eyes. It is difficult to judge whether food is contaminated by bacteria only by color and smell. So even if there is only a little bit of "worry" and "strange" feeling, we must make up our minds to throw it away. 3, high temperature disinfection. Baby's bottles, bowls, spoons and other tableware are carefully washed with special detergent, then the foam is thoroughly washed with running water, and then boiled or disinfected with special disinfection pot and microwave oven. Finally, dry carefully. If there is water left, it will become a hotbed for bacteria to breed, so it must be dried and killed completely.
Nursing: 1, don't let the baby eat because he has diarrhea, but give him digestible soft food, such as noodle soup and rice porridge. 2, let the baby drink plenty of water or oral rehydration salts, supplement the water and electrolyte lost in the body, if the water loss is serious, infusion treatment.
Diarrhea may be 6: abdominal cold.
Some babies kick the quilt when they sleep, or their abdomen is exposed when they play during the day, which is easy to catch cold. Once the abdomen is cold, the intestinal smooth muscle will be stimulated, the contraction will be strengthened, and the intestinal peristalsis will be accelerated. The food being digested and absorbed will pass through the intestine more quickly, which will not only affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body, but also cause an increase in the number of defecations, and the defecation is often loose, which will lead to diarrhea.
Prevention: 1, don't wear "navel dress" for the baby, and the underwear should not be too small. It is best to stuff the coat into the pants to ensure that the stomach will not catch cold. 2, usually let the baby sleep in pajamas. 3. Wake up in the middle of the night to see if the baby has covered the quilt.
Nursing: In order to keep your abdomen warm, you can put on an extra piece of clothes or press it on your abdomen with a hot water bottle.
Tip 1, protect little ass when you have diarrhea. Because the frequency of defecation increases a lot when the baby has loose bowels, it will continuously pollute little ass, and the feces discharged during loose bowels will irritate the skin, and usually the baby with loose bowels will have a pain in the ass. So every time after defecation, the baby should wash little ass with warm water, dry it and apply some buttock cream. 2. Pay attention to the observation record. In the process of nursing, we should observe and record the changes of stool frequency, character, color and quantity, and provide basis for doctors to formulate treatment plans. Also pay attention to the observation of the disease. If the baby's condition does not improve during the treatment and nursing at home, and there are dehydration symptoms such as frequent watery stools, obvious thirst, sunken eye sockets, significantly reduced urine output and high fever, the baby should be taken to the hospital for further treatment.
People in modern society are generally used to having three meals in the morning, noon and evening.
