What kind of poop is “healthy” poop? How to determine the health status of the baby from the “poop”? A, understanding healthy poop dark green: 6-12 hours after birth, the discharge of several stools, composed of amniotic fluid, mucus, dander and other things absorbed in the womb, more viscous, called fetal stool. Dark green or yellow-green: 2-4 days after birth, the baby has been breastfed, the color of the stool slowly changed from dark green to yellow-green transition stool. Yellow: Breastfed babies have yellow colored, softer stools after about three to five days. Earthy yellow or with green: formula-fed babies, the stool is earthy yellow or golden, hard texture, with some sour smell. Sometimes the stool will be yellow with a greenish tinge, this is because formula milk has a high iron content, when the baby does not fully absorb the iron in the formula, the excess iron will make the stool greenish. Other colors: When babies start eating complementary foods, the color may change: eating red vegetables, the stool may be red; eating blueberries, may appear dark blue stool; eating too much meat stool will also be smelly; sometimes the stool can also be found in the undigested food. Second, how many times a day is normal stool? Fetal stool: generally need to continue 2-3 days, 3-5 times a day. Breast-fed stool: 2-5 times a day, or even 7-8 times. Manual feeding stool: 1-2 times a day. Third, the color of the stool is abnormal gray clay stool: normal stool because there is bile, so it will appear yellow or green, but if the stool is gray like white clay, accompanied by white eyes and yellow skin, it is likely to be biliary obstruction or bile sticky, and may even be hepatitis, to seek immediate medical attention. Bright red stools: Stools with bright red blood indicate that the bleeding is not far from the anus and may be due to dry stools, causing skin cracking around the anus. In addition, diseases such as enteritis and intussusception may also have bloody stools and require prompt medical attention. Dark red stools: If there is abnormal tissue or polyps inside the intestine, it can cause abnormal bleeding. The color of the stool in the intestine will change from bright red to dark red through the action of hematocrit and bacteria in the intestine. Black stool: It may be bleeding from the stomach or upper part of the intestine. The higher the bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, the darker the color of the stool will be. Black stools may also occur if iron medication is taken to treat anemia. Parents must be careful when they encounter black stools. Green or yellow-green poop: more frequent and less frequent with clear mucus, this is a sign that the baby is hungry, mostly due to insufficient milk, hunger or diarrhea. Parents must find a way to feed their babies. After the addition of complementary foods, if the baby eats more green food, there may also be green poop, parents should also learn to distinguish. Pale yellow or yellowish-brown stool: pale yellow, paste-like stool, stool volume and the number of bowel movements are more, may be fat indigestion. If the stool is yellowish-brown and watery, with a pungent rotten egg smell, it is likely to be protein indigestion.
