Why does the baby's stool smell so bad? How to treat the baby's stool smelling so bad?

Many mothers do not judge the baby's recent physical condition by the baby's stool. The baby's stool condition reflects whether he is healthy. So, what is the matter with the baby's stool being very smelly?

1. Lack of water in the body. If a child lacks water in the body, it will lead to drier stools. When defecating, the child will not only be very painful, but the stool will also emit a strong odor. Therefore, when parents find that their baby's stool has an odor, they should consider whether the child drinks less water. Usually, they should encourage the child to drink more warm boiled water or honey water.

2. Heatstroke and constipation. After the baby is born, many mothers will choose to breastfeed. Compared with formula milk, breast milk is indeed very comprehensive in nutrition and easy to digest. If women often eat high-calorie, high-fat foods during breastfeeding, they are likely to suffer from heatstroke and constipation, which will be passed on to the child through breast milk. The baby's stool will also be smelly, and many babies will fart frequently. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers must develop good eating habits and must not eat too much.

3 Gastrointestinal abnormalities When the baby's gastrointestinal function is abnormal, it is difficult to excrete stool smoothly. Even if some parents give their children some easily digestible food, the excretion has not been improved. At this time, the child must be taken to the hospital for a gastrointestinal examination. After the gastrointestinal disease is confirmed, timely treatment should be carried out. Only when the gastrointestinal symptoms are alleviated, the child's stool will return to normal.

1. Solve indigestion: If babies have indigestion, it is often because they do not exercise enough. Don’t think that babies do not need exercise because they are still young. Exploring the surrounding environment is a good sign. In the case of indigestion, mothers can add some vegetables and grains with coarse fiber to the complementary food to help promote digestion of the baby’s stomach and intestines.

2. Improve the mother's diet: If the baby is still breastfed, some gastrointestinal phenomena can well reflect whether the mother is eating healthily. If the baby's stool is very smelly, the mother should try to adjust her diet and avoid some difficult to digest and highly irritating foods. The baby's stomach and intestines will not be able to accept such things before, and the stool will also smell very bad.

3. Eliminate gastrointestinal bacteria: The main reason for the smelly stool caused by excessive gastrointestinal bacteria is that the baby's intake is unbalanced, such as insufficient supplementation of crude fiber that can remove bacteria from the body. Mothers can buy some probiotics to help the baby's stomach and intestines replace bad bacteria, eliminate the smell of stool from the baby's body, and help the baby defecate on time.

If the baby is breastfed, the stool is mostly light yellow. The baby's stool is generally sticky, which is affected by the imperfect gastrointestinal function. The color is light yellow and mostly odorless. If the baby is raised with breast milk, the baby will generally be less constipated, but the interval between bowel movements may not be shorter. If the baby is raised with milk made from milk powder, the stool will be slightly yellower. The stool of babies raised with milk made from milk powder will be more yellow in color, harder in texture, and have an odor. In addition, babies who eat formula milk will defecate more frequently, mainly because formula milk contains some other ingredients in addition to the nutrients needed by the baby.

1 Proper water feeding For babies fed with milk powder, it is very important to give them proper water. But mothers all know that they don’t need to drink water when feeding with milk powder, especially before 5 months. But if the baby’s stool is dry and hard and it is very difficult to defecate every time, you can also feed water appropriately. You can add some water to the milk powder appropriately, and wait until the baby’s stool returns to normal, and then feed the milk powder normally.

2. Take probiotics. If the baby can't defecate, you can also give the baby some probiotics, which can balance the baby's stomach and intestines. This is more effective for babies with food accumulation. Usually, you should give the baby some easily digestible and small food, and often take probiotics, which can prevent constipation and regulate the stomach and intestines.

3. Massage the abdomen. If the stool is dry and can't be pulled out, you can also massage the abdomen appropriately. Massage can make the stomach and intestines absorb quickly and is also conducive to the discharge of stool. We can use warm hands to massage the baby. It should be noted that the baby should be fed in the way of eating small and frequent meals.
