Foamy baby poop may be caused by lactose intolerance, indigestion, enteritis and other factors.
1. Lactose intolerance: For some babies, lactose intolerance may exist, which will lead to the inability to break down the sugar in breast milk and milk powder, thus causing the sugar to ferment in the intestines and triggering the symptom of foamy poop.
2. Indigestion: If the baby’s abdomen is cold, it will cause the gastrointestinal tract to move faster, so that the water in the stool is not fully absorbed by the intestinal tract, and the symptom of foamy poop occurs.
3. Enteritis: If the baby is infected by norovirus or rotavirus, it will lead to inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, which will lead to the symptom of foamy poop, accompanied by abdominal distension and abdominal pain.
There may be other reasons for your baby’s foamy poop, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time for a complete examination to determine the cause of the problem, and then give targeted treatment under the guidance of your doctor.
