If taking care of a baby is a tedious task, then the most worrying thing for a mother is cleaning their baby's stool. If a baby has regular bowel movements, as long as they can manage their bowel movements well every day, it will be easy to clean up. But there are a few babies who often defecate while sleeping, what's wrong with them feeling like defecating all night when they're a year old?
1. Digestive problems
Normally, babies defecate in the morning or during the day. If a baby also defecates while sleeping at night, then the mother should consider that the baby has digestive problems. For example, if the baby has diarrhea or irregular bowel movements caused by diet. This situation needs to be discovered and improved by the mother in a timely manner for the baby. If the baby defecates while sleeping for several consecutive days, the mother should temporarily stop the baby's complementary foods, which may improve the situation.
2. Eat before bedtime
If there are no problems with the baby's digestion, it may be because the baby eats before bedtime. If a mother feeds her baby complementary foods before going to bed, it is normal for them to have bowel movements during sleep. In this situation, mothers must pay attention and give their babies a break from the habit of eating complementary foods before bedtime. If the baby is hungry before bedtime, they can drink a meal of formula and try not to eat complementary foods. Otherwise, it will not only cause the baby to sleep and defecate, but also increase the burden on the baby's digestive system.
