For novice parents, their baby's every move is very careful and alert, even the daily urination is the same. Whenever the baby's bowel movements are more or less, they will suspect that it is abnormal. I really pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Taking care of a baby is indeed a very delicate task. If you neglect it, the baby may develop diseases. So, how old can a baby defecate once a day?
How old can a baby defecate once a day
During infancy, the frequency of bowel movements in a day is not fixed, and the time of the first bowel movement varies for different newborns. Newborns usually urinate within 24 hours after birth, and some may urinate after 48 hours. The urine output and frequency of urination vary among newborns of different ages. The younger the age, the more vigorous the metabolism, and the smaller the bladder volume. The food is mainly liquid, so the urine output and frequency are higher. The normal daily urine output is 400-500 milliliters.
What does it look like for a baby to have a normal bowel movement once a day
A few days after the birth of a newborn, a breastfed baby's stool will quickly turn into a light yellow viscous substance, with some small particles mixed in between. Occasional greenish stool color and texture changes are normal. Poorly green stool may be related to catching a cold. If a baby eats too much food one day, the digestion process may slow down and the stool may appear greenish; In addition, insufficient milk production and hunger can also cause greenish stools; If a baby takes iron supplements, their stool may also turn dark brown.
Through the introduction of the above content, I believe that mothers should have a clear understanding of the daily amount of defecation for newborns. For newborn babies, normal bowel movements are very important, and mothers must pay more attention. If a newborn has abnormal bowel movements, parents should not be careless and must contact a doctor in a timely manner to identify the cause and avoid harm to the baby.
