Those women who have become mothers are particularly meticulous people, even observing what their baby's stool looks like. Those who have become mothers know that a baby's stool can also reflect their physical health, so it is necessary to pay attention to a baby's stool. So, what is the reason why a baby's stool is like jelly?
What's going on with the baby pulling like jelly
1. It may be caused by a cold in the abdomen. Pay attention to keeping warm and try applying hot compress to the baby's stomach. Drink plenty of warm water and massage the abdomen counterclockwise to relieve diarrhea. Babies who can eat complementary foods can also eat steamed apples and the water inside.
2. Considering that it is caused by disharmony between the spleen and stomach, the child's symptoms may be due to indigestion. It is recommended to take some digestive aid medication. Due to the young age of the child, it is important to avoid using medication too early, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, and avoid being stimulated by cold air from the outside.
What does a baby's normal stool look like
1. Breastfeeded babies do not need much effort to defecate. It is normal to defecate three times a day or once every three days. The stool is golden and soft, with a slight sour taste. Artificially fed babies' feces are light yellow or earthy gray, hard and creamy, with a slight odor.
2. After adding complementary foods, as the number and variety of baby's complementary foods increase, the baby's stool gradually approaches that of adults, and the color begins to become darker, generally brown or dark brown, thicker than peanut butter but still in a paste like state. For babies who eat a lot of fish, meat, milk, and eggs, due to protein breakdown, their feces generally have a foul odor.
Never mind your baby's stool, as it is also one of the signals that reveal their physical condition. If parents can observe carefully, they can always grasp their baby's physical condition. If you don't know how to breastfeed your baby, then you can gain some understanding by looking at their bowel movements.
