Baby's stool is generally yellow in color, with some being yellow with a hint of green. If the stool is of other colors, it is mostly not normal, and if the stool is slightly white, it is abnormal. So, why do babies have white stool?
Occasionally, if a baby's stool is slightly white and there are no other symptoms, such as jaundice or diarrhea, there is no need to worry. If white stool is frequently expelled, there may be several reasons as follows:
1. If a baby's stool turns white for a long time and their eyes even turn yellow, it is related to blood bilirubin. If blood bilirubin is higher than the normal value, this symptom will occur and immediate medical attention is needed;
2. If it is a newborn with symptoms of yellow staining all over the body, be careful that it is a problem with the liver and gallbladder, and seek medical treatment;
3. White stool may also be due to gastrointestinal disorders, such as overeating or difficulty digesting food, indigestion, bacterial or pathogenic infections, or gut microbiota disorders caused by stimulating foods. If this is the case, be careful with your baby's diet and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and fiber. If it is due to digestive problems, you can thoroughly dissolve the milk powder you usually eat with water or feed your baby amino acid milk powder on a daily basis; Also pay attention to the hygiene of the baby's diet, keep the milk warm, and do not give the baby cold milk.
