Mothers will observe their babies' stool to determine if there are any abnormalities in their physical health. However, relying solely on this method to make a judgment is not scientific. Baby's stool may also be influenced by certain foods, such as breast milk and formula milk, which may result in different stool patterns. So, what does a breastfed baby's stool look like?
Breastfeeded babies' stool will be golden yellow in color, mostly in a paste like state with a sour taste, but generally not smelly. Under normal circumstances, babies will defecate 2-4 times a day. Babies who breastfeed may occasionally have green stools, which is related to their mother's diet. In this case, mothers should not eat too greasy food, nor should they eat spicy, raw or cold food.
Normally, breastfed babies will defecate two to three times a day, and some may even defecate five to six times. However, if the baby's mental state is good and does not affect normal breastfeeding, it is a relatively normal phenomenon, and parents do not need to worry too much. Baby's gastrointestinal and digestive functions require timely and regular breastfeeding, while avoiding overeating to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
If the baby is breastfeeding, the mother can observe the shape of the baby's stool to see if the baby is accumulating food or experiencing diarrhea. This way, the mother can make timely changes and adjustments to the feeding method of the baby according to the actual situation.
