What is the cause of neonatal diarrhea

First, Bao's parents are very concerned about their baby's health. They worry about diarrhea when they see the baby's loose stool. Sometimes the thinner stool is not diarrhea. The intestinal function of newborn infants is not perfect, and the defecation characteristics of infants with different feeding methods are also significantly different. For example, breast-feeding newborns can defecate as many as 7-8 times, or even 10-12 times a day, and their stools are usually thin and yellow. If the baby is in good spirits, sucks well and gains normal weight, there is no need to worry. Symptoms: defecation can be as many as 7 ~ 8 times, or even 10 ~ 12 times a day. Stool is usually thin and yellow.

Second: improper feeding. Some Baoma can only let the newborn drink milk powder after giving birth to a baby due to insufficient milk for some reasons. Because the milk powder fed to the newborn is too thick, the milk powder is not suitable, too much sugar is added, the milk liquid is too cold, weaning the baby in hot weather, or adding starch food such as rice paste too early, it will easily cause diarrhea of the baby. Symptoms: defecate contains foam, with sour or rotten smell, sometimes mixed with dyspeptic particles and mucus. Often accompanied by vomiting, crying.

Third: about 2% ~ 7% of babies with food allergy will be allergic to milk powder protein, and newborns with hereditary allergic constitution are more likely to have allergic symptoms to milk powder protein. Symptoms: after feeding with milk or milk powder, the patient has refractory and non infectious diarrhea for more than two weeks, the stool can be mixed with mucus and blood, accompanied by skin eczema, urticaria, asthma and other symptoms.

matters needing attention

However, if the child has severe diarrhea symptoms, the following stool should be tested in time to determine the cause and actively carry out corresponding treatment.
