Parents are very worried about the baby's eating, drinking, and diarrhea, especially when it comes to bowel movements. Parents should pay attention. Because a baby's health condition can be reflected in their bowel movements, normal bowel movements should be yellow cream like. If the color of stool is abnormal, parents should take their baby to see a doctor in a timely manner. Next, let's take a look at why a two-and-a-half-year-old baby pulls grass green?
What is the reason for a two-and-a-half-year-old baby pulling grass green
1. Baby's milk overflow and green stool may be related to catching a cold or indigestion. If there is a bacterial infection, active treatment is needed. If the laboratory test results are normal, it may be caused by poor digestion or abdominal coldness in the baby.
2. When the baby is not full, the baby's stomach peristalsis is too fast due to hunger, causing bilirubin in the intestines to be excreted from the stool before it is converted, resulting in green and thin stool.
3. During the digestion process, fat consumes less bile, and excess bile is excreted from the stool, making it green in color. If the mother thinks that the baby eats a lot, it is indigestion, and she can give the baby some probiotics.
4. Babies who consume iron containing milk powder may not be able to fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, resulting in yellow green stools with larger white particles and a higher risk of odor.
5. When a baby first adds vegetable puree, a small amount of green vegetable puree is often excreted in their stool. Some mothers often think it is indigestion and stop adding vegetable puree, but in fact, this phenomenon is a common occurrence for healthy babies when changing their food.
Is it normal for a baby to have grass green stool
The chemical changes in bile affect the color of stool. The yellow green color of stool is due to the presence of bilirubin and biliverdin in the bile in the upper part of the small intestine. When feces are pushed to the colon, biliverdin undergoes reduction and is converted back to bilirubin, resulting in yellow stool. The stool of breastfed children tends to be acidic, and under the action of intestinal bacteria, some bilirubin is converted into biliverdin, resulting in a light green stool. This is a normal phenomenon. If the baby is well fed and their overall condition is normal, there is no need for new mothers to worry. This is only a temporary phenomenon, and as the baby grows up, there will be progress.
It is normal for a two-and-a-half-year-old baby to have green stools due to changes in bilirubin levels caused by the acidic nature of the baby's intestines. As long as there are no abnormalities in the baby's condition and feeding is normal, it's good. If the baby is feeling lethargic, parents should take the baby to see a doctor in a timely manner. Check the situation and treat it accordingly.
