Whether a baby's stool is normal completely affects their physical health. Normally, a baby's stool is in the form of a strip, but some stools may appear watery. What's wrong with a one year and four month old baby having a runny nose and stool?
What's going on with a one year and four month old baby's runny nose and stool
By observing a child's stool, some symptoms can also be observed, such as sticky substances resembling mucus in the stool, which may be caused by the shedding of intestinal mucosa. If the child also has symptoms such as bloating, fever, and vomiting, it is possible that the child has enteritis. If a child is breastfed, it may be caused by the mother's improper diet and absorption by the baby.
What should I do if my baby poops like snot
1. If we find that a baby has this symptom frequently and frequently, we should take the baby to have a stool test to determine if it is enteritis. If bowel movements are normal, diarrhea may also cause indigestion. Mothers who exclusively breastfeed should pay attention to their diet, mix meat and vegetables properly, and rest.
2. If a child's stool has been normal all along, and suddenly becomes abnormal one day, such as having a runny nose, it may be caused by catching a cold, having a high sugar ratio, or starch in milk. For children who are exclusively breastfed, improper diet by the mother can also cause discomfort, such as consuming foods with high sugar content, or experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort due to weather changes or improper diet.
3. Children's digestive system is fragile, so mothers who only breastfeed can eat more fruits such as apple puree. Through milk, they can also be absorbed by the baby. Apples are alkaline foods, rich in tannic acid and delayed release, and have astringent, absorptive, and antidiarrheal effects, which can help babies relieve gastrointestinal discomfort.
