If you want to know if your baby's digestive function is normal, you can use their stool to better infer their health and nutritional status. And the baby's stool also has a normal standard, so how can the baby's stool be normal?
If the baby is breastfed, then the baby's stool color is golden yellow. Occasionally, it will be slightly green, or it will appear dark yellow. The stool is relatively thin, without foam formation, and sometimes it will bring some acid, but not very unpleasant smell, which is normal stool.
It is normal for a newborn baby to have granular stool, as it indicates that after absorbing breast milk, some undigested milk has been better excreted. This also shows that breast milk is very nutritious, and babies have also absorbed the nutrients of breast milk normally in order to display this state of stool.
If the baby drinks formula milk powder, the color of the stool is earthy gray, sometimes light yellow, and the texture is relatively dry. This is because formula milk powder does not digest better than breast milk, but such stool is still normal. However, many babies also drink milk, and their feces have a foul odor, just like adult feces.
