What is considered normal for a baby’s stool

Generally the baby’s stool is soft, sticky or formed, and the color is usually golden yellow, even if it is normal. As the gastrointestinal function of babies is not yet well developed, it will have some influence on the shape of the baby’s stools. Generally speaking, baby’s stools are soft, sticky or formed, and some babies may be thin and have milk petals. Milk flaps are usually white in color and are usually normal due to insufficient digestion. The color of baby’s stools is usually golden yellow, but newborn babies’ stools may also appear green or black ink, generally known as meconium, which can transition to yellow in 4 to 5 days. In general, as long as there is no sudden and obvious change in the nature of the baby’s stool, the baby does not have diarrhea, constipation, etc., the bowel movement is relatively smooth and the mental state is relatively good, it is normal. If the baby has obvious discomfort, increased frequency of defecation or difficult defecation symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor for examination.
