The birth of a baby brings infinite joy to parents and witnesses the growth process of the baby. Although the baby is gradually growing up, they do not have a good understanding of many things about the baby, and even the slightest accident can cause great concern. So, what is the reason why a one year old baby's stool is not formed and sticky? What should I do if a one year old baby's stool doesn't form and stick?
Why does a one year old baby's stool not form and stick
According to the feeding method and frequency of the baby, the normal situation of bowel movements may vary. As the baby grows older and things are added, the frequency of bowel movements will gradually decrease, which is no different from that of adults. The main reason why a baby's stool does not form at the age of one is:
1. If a baby has an infection in their stomach or intestines, it may be due to the mother's unhygienic breastfeeding or insufficient disinfection of the bottle.
2. If the baby's stool has a lot of foam, it is because the baby's abdomen is cold, so it is necessary to keep warm.
3. Babies with skin and respiratory infections can cause irregular bowel movements.
What should I do if a one year old baby's stool is not formed and sticky
Many one year old babies have normal bowel habits before adding complementary foods, but as the food becomes more abundant, there may be abnormal bowel movements. To solve this problem, the following methods can be used:
1. If a baby's digestive system is not good, it is necessary to regulate it.
2. It is closely related to diet. Eat more grains, cereals, and vegetables in daily life.
3. The diet is mainly light, with frequent meals to reduce gastrointestinal burden.
At the age of one, if a baby's stool is not yet formed, it is highly likely due to catching a cold and having poor gastrointestinal health. It is important to keep warm, drink plenty of water, and mothers should not be too nervous. If there is no diarrhea, there is usually no major problem. If the baby does not improve for a long time, do not take medication casually. You can go to a regular hospital for examination and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
