The arrival of the baby brings joy to new parents, but it also brings some problems to novice parents, such as the baby spilling milk when drinking, defecating after drinking milk, and so on. Faced with these common problems, parents may also be at a loss. Today, let's learn together about the problem of newborns defecating when they are breastfeeding.
What's wrong with a newborn defecating as soon as they start breastfeeding
Babies have a certain limit to their digestive ability, and if they consume food beyond their capacity, diarrhea may occur. Due to differences in dietary habits, health status, and individual differences, some mothers' breast milk contains more nutrients (mainly fat) than their babies need, which can cause diarrhea in babies, commonly known as "physiological diarrhea".
If the baby has no other symptoms except for an increase in bowel movements, good appetite, no vomiting, and no impact on growth and development, it is not caused by a disease. After adding complementary foods, bowel movements will gradually return to normal, and the mother does not need to worry too much. Babies with "physiological diarrhea" do not require medication treatment, and generally switching to milk or other dairy products can be effective.
What should a newborn do if they defecate immediately after feeding
If a baby defecates immediately after feeding, mothers must first observe whether the baby's stool is yellow, whether there is any odor, and also check the baby's weight changes. If the weight changes are particularly obvious, it is an abnormal manifestation. Parents must take their children to the hospital for examination and early diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
It is also important to pay more attention to the baby's eating habits in daily life, and the mother should also pay attention to her own diet, because if she is breastfeeding and eats too greasy, the child will also have difficulty digesting.
In summary, this is some understanding and insights on the issue of newborns defecating as soon as they are breastfed. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. Mothers use various types of chicken soup, crucian carp soup, and pig trotter soup to supplement their babies' milk intake. However, babies' digestive systems may not be able to absorb it, leading to diarrhea. It is recommended that mothers have a balanced diet.
