Foamy baby stools may be due to lactose intolerance, indigestion, acute enteritis and other factors.
1. Lactose intolerance: If the lactase activity in the baby’s body is reduced, it will lead to the lactose in milk powder and breast milk not being absorbed, so that the undigested lactose will enter the colon and be fermented by the bacteria, so that the baby will have the symptom of foamy stools.
2. Indigestion: If parents do not pay attention to the baby’s abdominal warmth, the abdomen will be cold, which affects the function of the gastrointestinal tract, causing the symptoms of foamy stools, accompanied by abdominal distension, abdominal pain, vomiting and other symptoms.
3. Acute enteritis: If the baby is infected by rotavirus or norovirus, it will cause inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, which will lead to foamy stools.
Baby foamy stool, there may be other reasons, should go to the hospital in time to improve the examination, and give targeted treatment.
