When a newborn baby has black stools, it is generally considered that it may be due to hypopharyngeal syndrome and digestive disorders.
1. Hypopharyngeal syndrome: If the baby swallows too much amniotic fluid containing maternal blood during birth, it will cause black stool symptoms, often accompanied by vomiting symptoms, and the vomit is usually coffee-colored.
2. Gastrointestinal bleeding: upper gastrointestinal bleeding can also cause black stools, if the amount of bleeding is relatively large, and may even be discharged clots, may also pull dark yellow or bright red blood; lower gastrointestinal bleeding is usually mostly dark red or bright red, if in the intestinal tract stays for too long, will also cause black stools.
There may be other reasons for your newborn baby to have black stools, so we suggest 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.
