They defecate a lot, or even more than ten times a day. The amount of each defecation is not necessarily very large, which contains a small amount of water, and generally has no special fishy smell.

Why can you get physiological diarrhoea?

We know that the baby's digestive capacity has a certain limit, if the food given to the baby exceeds its tolerance, diarrhea will occur. For example, if half of the water in the milk is evaporated to make the so-called evaporated milk, and then the milk is used to feed the baby without dilution, some babies may have diarrhea due to the high nutritional content in the milk.

Moreover, the composition of breast milk varies greatly due to ethnic, dietary habits, health status and individual differences. Some breast milk juice contains insufficient nutrients, resulting in infant malnutrition, while some breast milk juice contains more nutrients than infants need

The excess part is excreted with diarrhea, so infants with "physiological diarrhea" have absorbed more nutrients than ordinary children even though they excrete some nutrients from their stools.

matters needing attention
