Due to the baby's inability to control their body after birth, bowel movements may be very irregular and occur unpredictably, regardless of the occasion, often causing parents to feel helpless. Especially when a baby has diarrhea, they may pull it multiple times a day, maybe even while sleeping. So what's the reason why a baby pulls it five or six times a day?
What's going on with a baby doing it five or six times a day
1. The symptoms of babies with diarrhea in autumn are almost the same. They have fever, runny nose, a little cough, and just got sick like a cold, but then came frequent vomiting and diarrhea. Some babies may have more than a dozen stools every day, most of which are watery, some like rice soup, some like Egg&vegetable soup.
2. There are few visible components in feces, but there is a lot of water, which may contain mucus, and may be accompanied by oliguria and yellow urine color. Babies with poor mental health, wilting, lack of appetite, irritability and thirst may experience mild or moderate to severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and even acidosis, which should be highly valued by parents!
How to prevent baby diarrhea
1. Babies under one year old should adhere to breastfeeding. Breast milk contains various immune factors that can resist digestive and respiratory infections, which can enhance the baby's resistance. If conditions permit, breastfeeding should be encouraged as much as possible. Pay attention to environmental hygiene and personal hygiene of the baby. When the weather is sunny, pay attention to frequent ventilation and change of bedding at home.
2. After the baby returns from going out, they should wash their hands and pay attention to the daily disinfection of tableware and toys. Pay attention to daily outdoor activities, parents should often take their babies out to bask in the sun, run and jump, and increase their body's resistance. However, when the virus is prevalent, parents should take their babies to crowded places less often.
Newborn babies are actually very fragile in terms of resistance and body organs, making them vulnerable to external harm. So parents must be careful enough when taking care of their babies, especially not letting them catch a cold, otherwise it will cause diarrhea in the baby. If the baby has diarrhea for a long time, they will get red buttocks.
