Diarrhea begins within a few days after birth. Every day, the stool is thin and yellow or yellow-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, which is more common in exclusively breast-fed babies under 6 months.

Mom should eat less shrimp and crab food and all kinds of raw and cold food.

If you can't change the baby's diaper and clean the buttocks in time, it may cause red buttocks, or even local infection. Therefore, as long as the diaper is wet, you have to change it. Every time you change the baby's diaper, you should also clean the buttocks first, and if necessary, apply hip cream to protect the local skin. > > Say goodbye to summer red ass

With the increase of age, the baby's physiological diarrhea will heal itself, so there is no need to take medicine.

Diarrhea may be 2: improper feeding

Feeding children with porridge and paste too early, too much carbohydrate can cause fermentation and digestive disorder. Failing to add supplementary food on time, suddenly adding food before weaning to change food composition, resulting in digestive disorder and diarrhea due to inadaptability.

prevent

1, babies over 4 months old 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 food.

After adapting to one, add another.

3. Carnivorous foods should not be eaten too much at one time, so as not to cause excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract of infants and young children, resulting in digestive and absorption disorders in the gastrointestinal tract and diarrhea.

nurse

When diarrhea occurs, temporarily stop adding complementary food, and then gradually add it after diarrhea improves.

Caregivers 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 enzyme. 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, so that their ability to secrete lactase decreases, which is usually called "secondary lactose intolerance." If you drink milk, you can have symptoms such as diarrhea and bloating, which is always called lactose intolerance.

In addition, there is congenital lactose intolerance, which means that there is no lactase from birth. Whether drinking breast milk or milk can cause obvious diarrhea.

prevent

1, eat with grain

Babies who are lactose intolerant will have severe 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 a specific environment. Chyloid in gastrointestinal tract

Function can improve lactose absorption rate. If you eat some biscuits and bread before drinking milk, you will reduce the exhaust and uncomfortable feeling.

2, a small number of times

Even babies with lactase deficiency can tolerate a small amount of milk (30-50 ml) without intolerance. Therefore, when a mother breastfeeds her baby, she can also take a small number of times to eat, and it is appropriate to eat no more than 50 ml at a time. Drinking more than a few times a day can still achieve the recommended milk quantity. And over 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.

Step 3 drink yogurt

Yogurt is produced by adding a certain amount of lactobacillus after fermentation. During the fermentation process, 20%-30% of lactose in raw milk is decomposed, and protein and fat are also decomposed into small components, making it easier to digest and absorb, so drinking yogurt can avoid the occurrence of discomfort.

nurse

Diarrhea caused by lactose intolerance is generally not serious. As long as you stop eating dairy products, you can get better in a day.

Congenital can choose special lactose-free formula milk powder.

Diarrhea may be 4: autumn diarrhea

Baby's 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. Due to 6 months -2 years old

Infants and young children's local immunity and intestinal digestive system are not fully mature, and they are prone to rotavirus infection and diarrhea.

prevent

1, don't take your baby to crowded public places, and avoid contact with children with diarrhea.

2. Toys used by the baby and furniture that can be touched should be washed with clear water frequently; Always wash your hands before eating.

3. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and running water before feeding your baby.

4, hot and cold should be moderate, prevent colds, so that the baby can resist the invasion of rotavirus.

5. Don't let your baby touch anything that may be infected with the virus.

6. Oral rotavirus vaccine.

nurse

1, the most important thing is to ensure the intake of liquid. If the baby does not vomit, parents should patiently and frequently feed oral rehydration, just like intravenous drip, little by little. As long as the dehydration is controlled, the baby's condition will not get worse.

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. Babies who are artificially fed within 6 months will dilute their milk with rice soup and change to a normal diet after 2-3 days; Babies over 6 months can eat porridge, noodles or soft rice, add some vegetables, and eat fresh fruits and juices to supplement potassium. In short, we should encourage eating and feed nutritious and digestible food until

2 weeks after diarrhea stopped.

4. Babies in the complementary food addition period can temporarily stop some complementary foods, such as meat and eggs, and then start eating until 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 properly cared for, 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, he will have a fever of 39℃ or even higher, and the number of stools will increase, showing purulent bloody stools. There are often paroxysmal abdominal pains 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.

prevent

1, washing hands is very important

Wash your hands before cooking; Wash your hands immediately after touching meat and eggs; Don't leave too long nails, and don't wash your hands directly with a ring or watch.

2, the food should be cooked and eaten as much as possible.

Avoid eating leftovers. Fresh food is rich in nutrition, and the nutritional value of leftover food has been greatly reduced. And the more nutritious the meal, the finer it is.

The easier it is for bacteria to reproduce, the easier it is to cause food poisoning if it is not heated enough. Mom, don't try to judge whether the food is bad or not with your nose and eyes. It is difficult to judge whether the food is contaminated by bacteria only by color and smell. So even if there is only a little "worry" and "strange" feeling, you must make up your mind to throw it away.

3, high temperature disinfection

Baby's bottles, bowls, spoons and other tableware are carefully cleaned with special detergent, and then the foam is completely washed with running water, and then boiled or disinfected with special disinfection pots and microwave ovens. Finally, dry it carefully. If there is still water left, it will become a hotbed for bacteria to multiply, so it must be dried and completely killed.

nurse

1, don't let the baby eat because of 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, and carry out infusion treatment if the water loss is severe.

Diarrhea may be 6: Abdominal cold

Some babies kick the quilt when they sleep, or when they play during the day, their abdomen is exposed, which makes it easy for them to catch cold. Once the abdomen catches cold, the intestinal smooth muscle will be stimulated, the contraction will be strengthened, and the intestinal peristalsis will also be accelerated. The food that is being digested and absorbed will pass through the intestine faster, which will not only affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body, but also cause excretion.

The frequency of defecation increases, and the stool is often in a powdery state, thus diarrhea appears.

prevent

1, don't give the baby a "navel dress", underwear should not be too small, it is best to put the top into the pants to ensure that the stomach will not catch cold.

2, usually let the baby sleep in pajamas.

3. When you wake up in the middle of the night, see if the baby has covered the quilt.

nurse

To keep your abdomen warm, you can wear an extra piece of clothing or press it on your abdomen with a hot water bottle.

TIPS

1, protect your little ass when you have diarrhea

Because the frequency of defecation increases a lot when the baby has diarrhea, it will constantly pollute the small ass, and the feces discharged during diarrhea will stimulate the skin, and usually the baby with diarrhea will have a pain in the ass. Therefore, after each defecation, the baby should wash the small ass with warm water, dry it and apply some hip cream.

2, pay attention to the observation record

In the nursing process, we should observe and record the changes of stool frequency, character, color and quantity, and provide basis for doctors to make treatment plans. We should also pay attention to the observation of the condition. If the baby's condition does not improve during the treatment and nursing at home, there will be dehydration symptoms such as frequent watery stools, obvious thirst, sunken eyes, significantly reduced urine output and high fever, and the baby should be taken to the hospital for further treatment.
