Abnormal poop
Foamy stools (lactose intolerance)
Egg flower soup stool (cold indigestion)

Performance of belly saving:
Baby poop is effortless, 2 to 3 days / time; the stool is soft and tangible.
Breast-saving usually begins to appear around 2 months of pure breast milk and continues until the addition of complementary foods (4-6 months). As for the specific time difference of the baby's belly, it varies from person to person, and some save ten days and eight days, half a month or a month. As long as the baby eats and sleeps normally during this period, there is no obvious crying, and the weight gain is normal, it can be.
Manifestations of constipation:
The baby pulls the poop very hard, the little face is red, and the poop is very hard and granular (like a sheep's poop egg).
Constipation usually occurs in formula-fed babies or after the addition of complementary foods. When you are constipated, your baby has a loss of appetite, bloating, and a hard lump in the left lower abdomen. This is very different from the belly, which is soft when the belly is saved.
What should I do if my baby has abnormal poop?
1. Observe the poop closely
If the baby is more happy and the frequency of poop does not increase or decrease significantly, it is basically reassuring. Once the baby has frequent poop and abnormal poop traits, it is recommended to carefully observe the baby's state and seek medical treatment in time if there are obvious adverse reactions.
2. Breastfeeding should pay attention to food intake
Breast milk is the best food for the baby, by sucking breast milk, the baby can get more immune factors and nutrients, as long as the nursing mother pays attention to a balanced diet, does not overdo eat high-protein foods, such as eggs, beef, shrimp, crabs, etc., eat less fried, fried foods and chocolate, cream and other sweets, as much as possible to eat vegetables and fruits, then the baby's pulled out of the stool will also be more normal.
3. Scientific selection of milk powder
The baby's "poop" with slightly different characteristics may be caused by the fact that the ingested protein, fat and other nutrients cannot be digested and absorbed well. When choosing "rations" for the baby, the mother must also provide the baby with good digestion and absorption of nutrients.
4. Reasonable addition of complementary foods, thickness and thin collocation
The baby's complementary food should be nutritionally reasonable, the meat and vegetarian combination is appropriate, the cooking method is appropriate, mostly steaming, boiling, stewing, simmering, less for the child to eat fried greasy, spicy and stimulating food. In addition to eating highly nutritious foods, such as eggs, livers, lean meats, beans, and fish, you should also add some vegetables and fruits.
