Baby's body develops quickly, so they need a lot of nutrition. However, their digestive system is very fragile, unlike adults. Therefore, diet and environment can make their digestive system very sensitive, which can easily lead to diarrhea and have an impact on their health. So, what is the reason for babies having sour and smelly stools and eating whatever they want? What shall I do?
Firstly, if a baby's stool has an acidic and foul odor, it indicates poor digestion. This may be due to excessive milk consumption, which hinders the proper digestion of protein and neutralizes stomach acid. As a result, the acidity of stomach acid decreases and protein cannot be fully absorbed. Mothers who breastfeed should eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water.
Secondly, mild diarrhea occurs 5-8 times a day, moderate diarrhea occurs about ten times a day, and the taste is also quite sour and may be accompanied by fever. Severe diarrhea occurs 10-15 times a day or more, with a large amount each time, which is watery and has a very sour and unpleasant odor. Therefore, parents should distinguish whether their babies have diarrhea symptoms and seek timely treatment.
One more thing, babies' daily diet should be clean, toys they play with, and bottles they eat should be cleaned and disinfected. When feeding babies, parents should wash their hands clean. If the milk powder is not finished, it cannot be consumed after two hours. If the weather is very hot, it cannot be consumed after half an hour. Therefore, when preparing milk powder, it is important to control the amount and not waste it.
