During the newborn stage, due to incomplete development of various functions of the digestive system and intestines. After a long period of time, there may be difficulty in defecation, and there are also various situations with feces. Mothers can observe their babies' condition based on their daily feces. So, what is the reason for a baby having a green stool every five days?
If a baby's stool turns green once every five days, it may be due to the high iron content in the food they absorb. And these iron substances will come into contact with a large amount of air when passing through the baby's digestive tract, so the iron will be oxidized and turn green, and naturally the baby's stool will also appear green. If this is the case, then adults need not panic.
The color of baby stool is closely related to the baby's personal physical condition, the acidity and alkalinity of the intestines, and the daily absorption of dairy products. If the baby has green stools, as long as their mental state is normal, their diet is normal, and they don't cry too much, there won't be too many problems. As long as all aspects remain normal, there is no need for special handling.
If a baby has green stool, pay attention to whether the baby is full. If the baby is hungry, it will accelerate intestinal peristalsis. It is also important to pay attention to keeping the baby warm in the abdomen. It doesn't matter if the baby only defecates once every five days, as long as all aspects of the baby's condition are normal.
