The fetus is already formed in the body before it is born. After the fetus is born, it will be excreted outside the body. If the fetus cannot be excreted in time, the jaundice index of the fetus will increase. However, after the fetus is excreted, some parents who observe it will find that the fetus is sticky. So, why is the fetus so sticky?
The stickiness of fetal stool is related to its composition. Fetal stool contains fetal fat and some epithelial cells, which makes it sticky. The color of fetal stool is usually dark green, but it does not have a bad smell. Generally speaking, three days after the birth of the fetus, the stool can be emptied completely. During this period, parents should feed their children warm water and feed them as needed to speed up the emptying process.
When cleaning the baby's stool, wet wipes can be used to make it easier. After the fetal stool is discharged, the child can defecate normally, and the fetal stool will gradually change from its original green color to a normal yellow color. If you want to know if the fetal stool has been completely expelled, you can observe the color of the stool. As long as the stool is yellow or golden, it is considered completely expelled.
After 12 hours of birth, the fetus will pass stool. If the stool is delayed, parents should pay attention and inform the doctor as soon as possible. Through relevant examinations, it can be determined whether the fetus has abnormalities such as anal stenosis or intestinal obstruction. After the fetus defecates, it can be washed with clean water and promptly changed into a clean diaper to reduce damage to the buttocks.
