What should I do if a 3-year-old baby experiences jet diarrhea and egg drops
Egg shaped feces often have no mucus, indicating indigestion, and are generally more common in babies who eat milk or formula. In response to this situation, breastfeeding should continue and generally return to normal naturally; Mixed or artificial feeding can adjust the diet structure appropriately, such as adding more water to dilute slightly during milk mixing, feeding sugar containing saline to babies who have reduced feeding, or reducing the amount of feeding per cycle to increase the number of feedings. If the stool is still abnormal after 2 to 3 days, it is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
How to check a baby's diet from their stool
1. Foam like stool, which tends to be dark brown, may be caused by the baby eating too much starch or sugar food.
2. The foul and unpleasant stool is caused by excessive intake of protein containing foods, which dilutes gastric juice. The protein is not fully decomposed and absorbed, and is metabolized by bacteria in the intestine, resulting in foul and unpleasant stool.
3. Bright stool, consumed with excessive fat, is broken down in the intestine to produce excess fatty acids, stimulating the intestinal mucosa and increasing intestinal peristalsis, resulting in light yellow, voluminous, and brightly colored stool.
4. Green stool, if the amount of stool is small and there is a lot of mucus, belongs to hunger diarrhea.
When a baby has abnormal stool, mothers don't need to panic. First, observe whether the baby is in good condition. If the baby is not crying or experiencing abdominal pain, you can give them some warm water to keep their abdomen warm. Then, give them some antidiarrheal medication. If the situation is serious, it is necessary to seek professional medical treatment at the hospital in a timely manner.
