The development of the baby's intestinal function is not very complete. If there is intolerance to breast milk or poor adaptability to the current formula, it can lead to diarrhea. On the other hand, it is also important to pay attention to whether it is caused by catching a cold or bacterial infection. A stool examination can be performed on the baby to clarify the situation. So what's wrong with a 2-year-old baby having loose yellow stool? Let's all learn about it together!
1. Enteritis
It is the main cause of yellowish stools in babies, with viral enteritis accounting for two-thirds and bacterial enteritis accounting for one-third. Therefore, if a baby experiences abdominal pain while having abnormal bowel movements, it is often due to abnormal intestinal function. Timely adjustment of gastrointestinal diseases can improve bowel conditions.
2. Infection
If the food eaten by the baby is not cleaned properly and the utensils used are contaminated with bacteria and viruses, it may cause abnormal bowel movements in the baby. Therefore, regular disinfection of the baby's utensils is something that every mother should do well, otherwise it may bring great risks to the baby's health.
3. Reduced digestive enzymes
If a baby's stomach is cold or excessively fatigued, it may lead to a decrease in digestive enzymes in the baby's body, resulting in digestive discomfort and loose yellow stool. So in order to make the baby healthier, it is important to pay more attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm in daily life and avoid excessive feeding.
