Bedwetting is really too common for babies. Some babies often urinate while sleeping, but some babies defecate while sleeping, which makes it difficult for many parents to understand. Adults may think that defecation should be done when the baby is awake. So why do babies defecate while sleeping?
1. Eating too much
If babies eat too much, they are prone to overeating, which may cause them to defecate in their sleep. In this case, mothers should control the amount of food or milk they feed their babies regularly, as overeating can pose health risks to the baby.
2. Too tired
When babies are a little older, they know how to play with their mothers. If they play for a long time without sleeping, it is likely to make the baby very tired. Sometimes adults may think it is nothing, but for young babies, their activity level may be already very high. When babies are very tired, they are prone to sleeping and defecating at the same time.
3. I have a stomachache
If a baby is sleeping and defecating at the same time, the mother should pay attention to observing the baby's bowel movements. When the baby has a lot of bowel movements in a day, it is important to pay attention to whether the baby has diarrhea. If the baby has diarrhea, timely medication treatment should be given.
Actually, it is a normal phenomenon for babies to defecate in their sleep, especially for babies who have not been born for long, because their development is not yet complete. As the baby's development gradually improves, the phenomenon of defecating in their sleep will no longer occur.
