The most feared thing for inexperienced mothers when taking care of their babies is that the baby suddenly defecates, and they feel helpless and don't know how to handle it. But baby defecation is an unavoidable physiological phenomenon, and mothers need to worry about whether their baby's constant defecation will affect their health. What if the baby always defecates?
1. Under normal circumstances. If a baby is breastfeeding, it is normal for them to have frequent bowel movements. In this situation, the mother should pay attention to observing the baby. If the baby's weight growth is normal and their mental state is good, there is no need to do any other treatment. The stool of a breastfed baby is directly related to the mother's milk. If the mother's milk is relatively clear, the baby will have more bowel movements.
2. Add formula milk. If the mother has a low amount of breast milk, the baby will not only not feel full after eating, but also accelerate intestinal peristalsis, causing frequent bowel movements and even diarrhea. In this situation, the mother needs to give the baby an appropriate amount of formula and ensure that the baby is fully fed. After the baby is full, their stool will return to normal.
3. Keep the abdomen warm. Frequent bowel movements in babies may also be caused by catching a cold and leading to diarrhea. Mothers should promptly add clothes to keep their babies warm. When the weather is cold, do not let the baby go barefoot. If the room is cold, a hot water bottle can be placed under the baby's bedding. Mothers should carefully observe their baby's stool. If the baby's stool is loose and there are undigested milk valves, it is likely that the baby has diarrhea caused by catching a cold and has more frequent bowel movements.
