What's wrong with a baby's stool having a sour odor

  The most important concern for every mother is whether the baby's body is healthy. When a baby is first born, its physical development is not yet perfect, so it is normal for some small problems to occur frequently. However, at this time, many mothers will become lost and confused. Let's explore together the issue of what happens to babies with sour and smelly stools.

  

What's wrong with a baby's stool having a sour odor1

  Firstly, if there is a sour and unpleasant odor in the baby's stool, it indicates that there is a problem with the baby's body, which is mainly caused by indigestion. Generally, if a baby has poor digestion, it can lead to discomfort in the stomach or sour stools. In severe cases, it can also lead to other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention in daily life and keep the baby warm in a timely manner.

  Secondly, such problems may also arise from overeating high protein foods, as high protein content in food can collide with stomach acid, leading to a significant decrease in acidity and insufficient absorption of protein. So remember to give your baby plenty of water and pay attention to their diet. If you are feeding with formula, dilute the formula before giving it to your baby.

  Also, if the baby is exclusively breastfed, it is normal for the stool to be slightly sour. At this time, the mother's diet should be lighter to reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon. Through the above description, I believe many people have gained an understanding of this issue, and there is no need to panic when encountering this problem in the process of feeding babies in the future.
