What causes dry stools in babies?

Dry stool in babies refers to the phenomenon that children have drier stools, which is usually caused by the following reasons:

1. Parents give their children less water, which leads to dry stools.

2. Parents feed their children few vegetables and fruits, which leads to dry stools in children.

3. When children eat milk powder that is not suitable for the stomach and intestines, it will cause dry stools. 4. Children's immune function is affected, which can also cause dry stools. For example, when the intestinal flora is damaged due to gastrointestinal diseases, dry stools will occur. 5. Older children are affected by mental factors. For example, dry stools occurred when they were younger. If a child has an anal fissure and has painful memories, the child will refuse to defecate, which will cause dry stools.

Why is the baby's stool green?

If the baby's stool is green, observe its characteristics. If the stool is green and loose, like green paste or egg-drop-like stool, or even watery stool, it means that the baby has gastrointestinal indigestion or even enteritis. At the same time, observe whether the child has vomiting and paroxysmal abdominal pain, and whether he has a fever. If accompanied by these symptoms, the child's stool should be sent to the hospital for routine examination in time to determine whether enteritis has occurred and make appropriate treatment for its cause.

What to do if there are bubbles in baby's stool

Regarding the situation where there are bubbles in the baby's stool, we actually know the answer, which is that the baby's stomach is exposed to cold or heat, indigestion or eating cold substances. Therefore, parents need to judge and analyze based on the actual situation. If it is due to cold, then the baby must be kept warm, especially the abdomen. If it is due to heat, the baby should be dressed less. If it is due to indigestion, then the baby's stomach should be adjusted well.

What kind of stool is normal for babies?

1. For babies fed with breast milk, the stool is in the form of an unformed paste with a golden color. Some breastfed babies have frequent bowel movements, but if the baby's mental state is normal and the growth is within the normal range, there is no need to worry; for babies fed with formula, the stool color is generally dark yellow;

2. When the baby is three months old, the frequency of bowel movements will be less, and the stool will generally be in a paste-like shape; some babies will defecate once a day, while others will defecate only once every three or four days. This is what people often call "holding bowel movements".

3. After adding complementary foods, the baby's stools will generally become more formed and the color will become lighter. Some babies' stools are light yellow or green, which is normal.
