As parents, it is important to observe whether the baby's stool is normal. Because normal bowel movements to some extent indicate that the baby is developing healthily and normally. And some one year old babies may have abnormal bowel movements, such as a sour and unpleasant odor. So, what is the reason for the sour and unpleasant odor in one year old babies' bowel movements?
1. When a one year old baby experiences abnormal bowel movements with a sour and unpleasant odor, it is mainly caused by indigestion. If there is indigestion in the food consumed, the sugar content is high and cannot be well absorbed and utilized by the body, which can cause excessive fermentation in the stool and result in a sour and unpleasant odor.
2. Moreover, when the protein content in the ingested food is high, indigestion can also lead to a noticeable sour and strong odor in the stool. If the fat content is also high, there may be abnormal stools such as milk flowers and nipples in the stool.
3. If the baby has indigestion, it is necessary to adjust their diet by temporarily adopting food control measures and combining small meals with frequent meals. The food eaten recently should be well digested and easily absorbed. It is suggested that liquid food should be temporarily fed, such as lean meat Congee, vegetable Congee, fruit Congee and other Congee food. Avoid eating hard and excessively dry food in the near future. If there is severe indigestion, the baby may not eat properly, have obvious bloating, and abdominal pain, and seek medical treatment.
