The baby is too young and has a delicate digestive system. A little carelessness can cause diarrhea in the baby. Baby diarrhea is a very troublesome condition that can be life-threatening, so mothers must pay special attention to their baby's bowel movements. So what's the reason for blood streaks in babies after diarrhea?
1. When a baby has diarrhea, the frequency of bowel movements will increase significantly. If the anal care is not appropriate, it may become red, swollen, or even bleeding. If there are blood streaks in the baby's stool at this time, it is likely that there is slight bleeding in the anus or rectum. Mothers should try to use soft, damp tissues to clean their baby's anus after defecation. If necessary, they can apply some anti-inflammatory ointment to reduce the baby's pain, or use a hot towel to apply hot compress.
2. If a baby who is breastfeeding has blood streaks after diarrhea, it may also be due to the baby biting the mother's nipple too hard while breastfeeding, and the blood will follow the milk into the baby's digestive system. This situation can also cause the baby to have blood streaks after diarrhea.
Generally speaking, baby diarrhea is caused by enteritis. At this time, mothers should pay special attention to the baby's diet, preferably liquid food, and let the baby drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Do not let your baby eat food that is difficult to digest, try not to eat raw and cold food, and feed fruits to your baby in winter by soaking them in warm water. Always pay attention to your baby's stool and take preventive measures.
