A normal infant’s stool should be soft, mucousy or formed and continuous, and should be yellow in color. If the infant is hand-fed, the stool may be slightly dry, but some may be a little thinner and have milk flaps. In addition, the shape of the stool may change due to the different foods that infants eat at different times, but as long as there is no foreign body or blood in the stool, it is a normal stool. If the baby is eating formula, the stool may be a little dry, rough, and earthy yellow in color, and also has a fecal odor. Parents can use the above situations to determine whether the baby’s stool is normal, and parents are usually advised to give their children more warm water to help promote digestion and moisten the intestinal stool.
