Baby's stool is like a window to the baby's body, always providing timely information to the mother about the baby's physical health status. For example, if the stool changes color or emits a different odor, it can always provide a trace for the mother to check the baby's feeding method in a timely manner. So, what is the reason for the baby's stool becoming thinner?
1. Improper feeding
It may be that the mother gave the baby too much milk powder or added starchy complementary foods such as rice paste too early, causing the baby to have poor digestion and diarrhea caused by abdominal food accumulation. Baoma can check whether there is foam in the stool and it has sour smell. If there is, she can correct the feeding method of the baby in time.
2. Allergic to formula milk
Some babies may be allergic to protein in formula milk. Mothers can observe whether there is mucus or blood in their stool. If this is the case, it is recommended to go to a children's hospital and feed the baby according to the doctor's prescription.
3. Cold
Generally, if a baby has a cold, it will often be accompanied by diarrhea. As long as the cold is cured, the condition of diarrhea will naturally improve.
4. Physiological diarrhea
It is because the baby's intestinal function is not sound. If the baby defecates more than 5 times a day and there is mucus or a large amount of water in the stool, it is recommended to seek professional treatment in a timely manner. Reasonably feed the baby and pay more attention to changes in their mental state, appetite, weight, etc.
