Experienced parents can understand a baby's physical condition through their baby's urination, defecation, and tongue coating. A healthy baby's tongue coating is pink, very tender, and also very smooth. But some babies have yellow tongue coating. So, what's going on with yellow tongue coating and diarrhea in babies?
The baby's tongue coating is yellow, which is abnormal. Generally speaking, the baby's tongue coating is yellow, and compared to the normal situation, the baby's tongue coating will be relatively thicker. The baby's tongue coating is yellow and there are symptoms of diarrhea, which is usually caused by indigestion and is likely due to overeating. The digestive function of infants is relatively weak, so their intestinal development is not good. Parents must pay more attention to the feeding situation of their infants.
When a baby's tongue coating is yellow and diarrhea symptoms appear, it is usually accompanied by symptoms of restlessness and thirst. After feeding the baby in this situation, parents can give appropriate massage to the baby's abdomen, which can help enhance the baby's gastrointestinal motility and reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Of course, considering that it is a baby, if complementary foods are added, it is important to pay attention to feeding the baby less high-fat food at the beginning.
For infants, when starting to eat complementary foods, it is important to note that the amount should be small, mainly considering the infant's intestinal capacity. This way, the food fed to the infant will be better digested and help reduce the occurrence of infant diarrhea, which is beneficial for the infant.
