Every summer (June to September), is the peak period of diarrhea in infants and children, mothers should pay more attention to the health of their babies than usual to keep them away from pediatric diarrhea. However, if you are accidentally infected with pediatric diarrhea, how should you take care of and nurse it? Baby diarrhea protection at different ages is also different, 0-3 years old baby diarrhea how to care? Common causes of diarrhea 1, eating too much or too often, increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract; 2, adding supplemental food too quickly or too many varieties of food, as well as consuming too much greasy food with dregs, so that the food can not be completely digested; 3, feeding irregularly, the gastrointestinal tract can not form a regular secretion of digestive juices of the conditioned reflex, resulting in the baby’s digestive function decreased, etc.; 4, the contamination of the food or utensils, so that babies eat into the food with bacteria, resulting in gastrointestinal tract infection, and then the baby can be infected with bacteria. 4, food or utensils contamination, so that infants eat food with bacteria, causing gastrointestinal infections, infants suffering from diseases other than the digestive tract (such as colds, pneumonia, etc.); 5, infants and young children gastrointestinal tract is immature, stomach acid is less, the ability to kill bacteria is poor, if too much food and drink in the summer, dilute the stomach acid, so that germs are very easy to pass the gastric acid this gate, into the intestinal tract, and caused by diarrhea; 6, the high temperature in the summer, the bacteria are easy to reproduce, but also one of the causes of increased infections. Symptoms of diarrhea in infants and young children are basically 3 kinds 1, light diarrhea: mainly manifested as loss of appetite, occasionally accompanied by overflow or vomiting, yellow or green loose stools, 5-6 times a day (usually not more than 10 times). Light diarrhea has no obvious systemic symptoms, the baby’s body temperature is normal or slightly high. 2, heavy diarrhea: the onset of acute, frequent diarrhea (more than 10 times a day), defecation outward splashing, watery stool or egg-shaped stool, yellowish-green, there will be more mucus, redness of the skin around the anus or epidermal detachment. Severe diarrhea is characterized by fever and obvious symptoms of dehydration, such as dry mouth, dry skin, weak pulse, cold extremities, and little or no urine. The severe type of diarrhea should be sent to the doctor in time. 3, delayed diarrhea: diarrhea delayed, not cured for a long time, this is mostly seen in poor nutrition non-breastfeeding baby. Sick children with low digestive function, loss of appetite, depression, emaciation, low resistance, easy to secondary skin, urinary tract, respiratory tract and other parts of the infection. Generally speaking, baby light diarrhea, mothers and fathers can treat and take care of themselves at home. Due to the imperfections of the systems, diarrhea is especially prevalent in babies under 2 years of age, especially those 6-11 months old. Different age of the baby diarrhea protection 0-1 year old baby diarrhea protection principle Generally speaking, born within 6 months of the baby, within three or four times a day defecation; 6-12 months of the baby, about two or three times a day defecation, are normal phenomena. In addition, the baby will be due to genetics, personality, physical and dietary content of different factors, there are different characteristics of defecation, but as long as every day to maintain a fixed habit of defecation, and there is no special anomalies, there is no need to worry too much. Feeding should be regular and quantitative. Gradually add complementary foods on time, but should not add too much starchy or fatty foods too early or change the types of complementary foods suddenly. 2, the process of transferring milk should be gradual, avoid quick fixes General transferring milk takes 2 weeks, the first transfer should start from the middle of the day meal, and then every few days to increase the number of meals transferred, until completely transferred to the new milk powder. Considering that babies have different physical qualities, the steps of transferring milk can be adjusted according to the individual and discretion. 3, pay attention to climate change, timely increase or decrease the clothes, pay attention to the warmth of the abdomen After each poo, we should use warm water to wash the baby’s perianal area, change the diaper diligently, wipe the buttock cream to prevent red buttocks. Dispose of feces and wash hands in a timely manner to avoid repeated infections. 4, observe the stool If it is in the process of breast milk conversion formula diarrhea, you should pay attention to observe the formula-fed baby stool, usually paste or strip soft stool, the color of yellow, there are also green. Generally speaking, the situation of each baby’s stool is not quite the same, as long as the baby’s diet, life is normal, growth and development has been very good, mothers and fathers do not have to worry too much about the baby’s bowel movements, shape and color. When the child has diarrhea, parents should first observe the nature and frequency of stools. If it is a paste or baby stool in the indigestible milk petals, the amount is not large, not watery stool, not mucus pus and blood stool, you can not deal with it for the time being, observe. If the stool is watery, with a large amount at a time, or if mucus or blood is visible to the naked eye, you should go to the hospital immediately to have the stool tested. Diarrhea need to be carefully observed Secondly, the collection of the child’s stool should be placed in a clean plastic bag, within half an hour to the nearest hospital for laboratory tests, which do not mix with urine, do not collect stool from the ground or diapers, it is best to let the child pull on the plastic bag. You don’t need to sample too much stool, and it’s best to pick areas that look like they have mucus or blood in them. If the first test is normal, send another test or two if convenient. It is not easy to have too much starchy or sugary food on a partial diet Too much starchy or sugary food on a partial diet can increase the fermentation of food in the intestinal lumen and produce dark brown watery stools with foam. Mothers and fathers can adjust the baby’s diet appropriately to reduce the intake of starchy or sugary foods. The above situations are mostly mild non-bacterial infectious diarrhea manifestations, mothers should not worry too much, as long as the actual situation of the baby to find the cause, reasonable adjustments to the diet, proper care, well adjusted, the baby will naturally recover in 2-3 weeks. 1-2 years old baby diarrhea protection principle Unlike 0-1 year old baby, 1-2 year old baby’s diet is more diversified, contact with people and the scope of activities are also expanded. Babies at this time grow and develop particularly rapidly, so their bodies need more nutrients and calories. However, the digestive organs are not fully developed, secreting less digestive enzymes, therefore, the digestive ability is weaker, prone to diarrhea. 1, timely replenishment of fluids Nursing diarrhea baby should pay special attention to timely replenishment of fluids, to prevent dehydration due to excessive loss of water in the stool. Baby diarrhea avoid eating long cellulose fruits and vegetables, because due to fibrous, semi-fibrous are to promote intestinal peristalsis, and aggravate diarrhea. Fruit juice contains a high concentration of fructose or sorbitol, because some babies on these fruits sugar tolerance and poor digestive ability, a large number of sugars accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, easy for bacteria to multiply, resulting in gastrointestinal flatulence, abdominal pain and diarrhea. One of the most dangerous is apple juice, which is rich in fructose and sorbitol two fruit sugars, these juices into the gastrointestinal tract will absorb a lot of water into the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in frequent vomiting or diarrhea, so that the dehydration caused by diarrhea further deteriorate. 2, timely adjustment of diet dietary treatment of diarrhea baby is the principle of dietary adjustment, continue to eat. Pay attention not to eat sweets, rich in protein, greasy and indigestible food, you can feed the baby porridge, noodles, etc., the food needs to be lighter, the shape of the processing of fine points, so that it is easy to digest. Note: Avoid changing food varieties or indigestible food during diarrhea. 3, good disinfection and hygiene care of infectious diarrhea of the baby, should do a good job of disinfection and isolation, eating utensils, cups, water bottles should be often disinfected. Clothes should be washed and dried regularly. Every time to the baby after changing diapers, breastfeeding before, before rinsing, to the baby before feeding, are to soap thoroughly wash hands; 4, protect the baby’s little butt As the baby’s bowel movements increased a lot, diarrhea discharged feces on the skin to stimulate the larger. Therefore, the baby every time after defecation, the mother should use warm water (try not to use soap or disinfectant) to clean the small buttocks, and to be diligent in changing, to avoid the occurrence of red buttocks and urinary tract infections. If the little butt is red, it should be exposed to the air to dry naturally, and then coated with hip cream. 5, abdominal warmth do not forget The baby should cover the abdomen when sleeping, to prevent cold; the weather is cold, mom and dad can warm hand rubbing the baby’s abdomen. Please pay attention to observe, the baby has eaten a certain food after the occurrence of specific diarrhea, if so, please consult a doctor to rule out foodborne, allergic diseases. 2-3 years old baby diarrhea protection principle 2-3 years old baby due to the immune, digestive and other systems began to improve, the resistance to external germs is relatively stronger, diarrhea is relatively better, pediatric diarrhea focus on prevention, especially in the change of seasons. 1, pay attention to dietary hygiene do not eat hard to digest, rich in protein, sweet and greasy food. 2, pay attention to climate change, clothing should be increased or decreased with the rise and fall of temperature, to avoid overheating, and to avoid the abdomen getting cold when sleeping. 3.Avoid abusing antibiotics Avoid abusing antibiotics for a long time, so as to avoid intestinal flora imbalance (antibacterial drugs will kill the normal flora in the intestinal tract), leading to the reproduction of drug-resistant bacteria causing enteritis and aggravating diarrhea. 4, enhance physical fitness usually should strengthen exercise, improve body resistance. Infant diarrhea condition changes quickly, the baby’s tolerance is poor, should be treated with caution. Nursing process should pay attention to observe and record the number of stools, traits, color and amount of change, for the doctor to develop a treatment plan to provide a basis; but also pay attention to the observation of the condition, if the baby’s condition at home during the treatment and care did not improve, the number of watery stools frequently, thirst is obvious, eyes sunken, urine decreased significantly and other symptoms of dehydration and high fever, you should take the baby to the hospital for further treatment.
