When it comes to raising children, many people probably have their own theories. For example, some friends can observe the baby's every move to determine if the baby is healthy, while others hope to know if the baby is suffering from any diseases by observing the baby's excrement. Observing the baby's bowel movements is very important, especially the baby's feces, which can provide useful information. So, what is the reason for the white mucus in the baby's feces?
Generally, when babies are born, their poop does not have any unusual odor because they are mostly fed with breast milk. The shape of the baby's poop is generally soft, but not very rare. The color is light yellow because the color of breast milk becomes this color after digestion. If white mucus is found in the stool, you can observe whether the poop has formed. Perhaps it is due to the milk being too thin. If the poop is a bit thin, you need to pay attention!
Newborn babies are greatly influenced by their mothers because they can only drink breast milk. If the mother's food contains other factors, it will have a strong response to external stimuli. If there is mucus in the feces, you can check if there is a bacterial infection or if the food you eat is contaminated with bacteria. You can go to the hospital's laboratory to have a stool routine test to find out.
In fact, we should not be overly nervous when our baby experiences this situation. Perhaps observing the baby's stool a few times will make it normal. After all, occasional phenomena may exist. If it continues like this, it is best to collect the baby's stool and go to the hospital for testing, preferably fresh stool, in order to obtain accurate results!
