Newborns, due to incomplete physical development, can easily be influenced by external factors and cause health problems if they are not careful. Many parents pay close attention to changes in their baby's physical health, and bowel movements are a more intuitive way to observe their baby's health. So, what is the reason for the granular shape of baby poop?
Baby poop has granular particles because the protein in the food eaten is not completely broken down, forming milk flaps that are excreted, resulting in the presence of granular substances in the baby's excrement. If such a situation occurs, breastfed babies need to pay attention to their mother's diet and avoid eating spicy, greasy, raw, cold, or difficult to digest foods.
If the baby is fed with formula milk, it is important to note that there may be issues with the ratio of formula milk to water during the brewing process, or if the brewing water temperature is too low, or if the baby's abdomen gets cold, which can cause indigestion and lead to the appearance of particles in bowel movements. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to such issues at this time to avoid the occurrence of indigestion in the baby.
In addition to paying attention to the mother's diet or the proportion and water temperature of the formula, it is also important to keep the baby's abdomen warm. If there are particles in the baby's stool, probiotics can be taken appropriately to regulate the gut microbiota, which can alleviate the baby's digestive problems to a certain extent.
