After birth, babies may inevitably encounter gastrointestinal problems because their gastrointestinal function is not yet fully developed and their digestive system is prone to some diseases. Therefore, it is inevitable to have diarrhea or bloody stools. So, what are the reasons for diarrhea and bloody stools in babies?
A large part of the reason for a baby's diarrhea and bloody stools is due to gastrointestinal problems. Parents should adjust their diet in a timely manner when they find that their baby has diarrhea and bloody stools. They should not let their baby eat overly stimulating foods. Breastfeeding mothers who eat spicy foods may cause digestive problems in their baby's already immature digestive system, and in severe cases, diarrhea and bloody stools may occur.
A baby with diarrhea and rectal bleeding may not only have digestive problems such as gastric ulcers or acute gastritis, but also have blood related diseases such as hemophilia, leukemia, and thrombocytopenia. Therefore, if a baby frequently experiences such symptoms, they should be taken to a doctor for diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner to avoid delaying the recovery of the condition.
If the baby does not experience any discomfort even once or twice, it may also be caused by catching a cold. As long as the parents cover the baby's abdomen with more clothes and drink plenty of water to quickly eliminate toxins from the body, the baby can recover to normal as soon as possible.
