The baby's tongue, mental state, and other factors can all reflect the baby's physical condition, and there is another thing that can also reflect the baby's health level, which is the baby's poop. Parents can tell whether their baby is healthy from the characteristics, color, frequency, and other aspects of the baby's poop. So, how did the baby's poop turn green and white?
What's going on with the baby's green and white poop lately
1. Eating too much milk or too little sugar can produce fatty acids that combine with the minerals calcium and magnesium in food to form fatty soaps. Feces can also appear grayish white, hard in texture, and have a foul odor.
2. Baby pulling green poop may be a bit indigestion.
The color of baby's poop at different stages
1. A dark green tire stool. The fetus is the first piece of feces that a baby pulls out about 6-12 hours after coming into the world. Even if they don't eat anything, they will still excrete feces that are odorless, sticky, and have a color close to dark green.
2. Yellow green "adolescent" feces. The so-called "puberty" stool is actually the characteristic presented during the transitional period of stool. This type of stool, which is between "mature" and "immature", often appears yellow green and begins to enter this stage 2-3 days after feeding.
3. Breast milk transforms into a soft golden stool. The frequency of defecation is also relatively flexible, ranging from 2-4 times to 5-8 times. However, as the baby grows older, the frequency of defecation will gradually decrease. Compared to babies who consume formula powder, breastfeeding babies have thinner stools and more frequent bowel movements, which is a normal phenomenon. As long as the baby's mental and nursing conditions are good, and their weight gain is normal, there is no need to worry.
4. Formula milk transforms into a earthy yellow hard cream. Babies fed formula milk have less stool, which is usually dry, rough, slightly hard like cream, or can also be imagined as toothpaste. If digestion is not a problem, it is usually a yellowish or golden color with a slightly acidic odor. It is normal to have 1-2 bowel movements per day.
5. After adding complementary foods, the stool looks like an adult. After the baby is 6 months old, parents will gradually add complementary foods for him/her to adapt to adult food. At this point, the baby's bowel movements will gradually approach those of adults, becoming darker in color and slightly thicker than peanut butter.
After reading the editor's compilation, I believe you already understand what it means for a baby's poop to be green and white. The editor also shared with everyone in the article about the normal state of baby's poop at different stages, and parents can compare it with their own baby's poop. Finally, I hope the editor's compilation can be helpful to everyone.
