Many mothers consider observing their baby's stool to be very important because it is related to their health. Generally, a baby's stool is light yellow or earthy gray in color and has a dry and hard texture. However, some mothers may notice that their baby has pulled out green stool. So, what's wrong with a 3-year-old child pulling out green stool?
There are many reasons that can cause babies to have green stools, most of which are caused by indigestion. This is because babies have poor gastrointestinal function and some foods are difficult to digest, while others have weakened digestive function due to coldness in the abdomen. In addition, babies who consume too many green vegetables may also have green stools, so mothers do not need to worry too much.
During the feeding process, mothers should encourage their babies to eat more easily digestible and absorbable foods, as well as eat small and frequent meals to avoid overeating. They should also check if the baby is full. If the baby is not full, intestinal peristalsis will accelerate and green stools may appear. When going out or sleeping, it is important to keep the baby's stomach warm and not let them catch a cold.
Whether the gastrointestinal function is good or not directly affects the healthy growth of the baby. Mothers should regularly massage the baby's abdomen, which helps the baby to exhaust and defecate. When taking a shower, it is important to have the baby sit in warm water without exposing their belly button. It is important to help the baby develop the habit of eating on time and avoid eating food that is too cold or too hot. It is important to maintain a good atmosphere during meals and prevent the baby from running around and making noise.
