Babies can only eat liquid foods such as milk not only because they have not yet grown teeth, but also because their digestive system is abnormally delicate. Problems in the baby's digestive system can often be found in their stool. Now let me introduce in detail why babies have diarrhea and their stomachs are growling.
Why does the baby have MoMo's belly growling
1. The foam in the baby's stool is mainly because 80% of the baby's stool is water, which is thin due to lactation, and the coliform in the intestinal tract decomposes sugar and produces gas, so there will be foam. If it's not diarrhea, there's no need for special treatment.
2. Physiological diarrhea: breast milk contains more lactose. Most lactose is decomposed by lactose decomposing enzymes in the skin and intestines to produce acid and gas, which stimulate the intestines and make the stool appear diarrhea like and foam like. When too much starch or sugar food is preferred, it can increase the fermentation of food in the intestinal cavity, resulting in dark brown watery stool with foam.
3. Pathological diarrhea: If it is caused by viral enteritis, it is often caused by rotavirus infection. After ineffective medication, stool should be sent for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing.
What should I do if my baby has MoMo's stomach growling
1. Add 500ml of plain water, 1 toothpaste, salt, and 10g of white sugar, and feed in portions. Alternatively, alternate feeding with light tea water (green tea).
2. If necessary, go to the hospital for intravenous infusion, supplement water, electrolytes, and glucose to prevent dehydration and acidosis.
3. Pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm, drink more hot water, and also be careful not to eat raw or cold food for adults.
After a baby is born in the expectations of its family, it is still a relatively fragile life that requires extra careful care from the family. Especially for the food that babies eat, parents should pay extra attention to avoid stimulating their delicate digestive system. And parents also need to pay attention to observing the baby's bowel movements. If abnormal bowel movements are found, they should seek medical attention in a timely manner.
