When you are a new mother, you will always encounter all kinds of troubles with your baby.
Today, let’s talk about which phenomena mothers need not worry about after their babies add supplementary foods, because some changes are normal.
Q1:
Mother of vegetables, may I ask the baby that he has just added supplementary food recently? Is it important to eat what La what?
Food residue in poop is indeed a manifestation of [dyspepsia]. However, the gastrointestinal function of the baby who has just started to add supplementary foods is still immature, and it is inevitable that he will not adapt to food other than milk for the first time.
Therefore, it is a normal phenomenon for babies who have just started to add supplementary foods to eat what La what.
For example, a new ingredient appears in supplementary foods. Or the processing of food materials is not delicate enough; Or the high content of dietary fiber in food materials, may lead to the occurrence of this kind of dyspepsia.
Mother should according to the baby’s chewing ability to make appropriate complementary food, from thin to thick, from fine to coarse. At the beginning of adding complementary food, should ensure the supply of iron fortified rice flour, red meat, eggs, poultry meat, fish and shrimp every day to meet the baby’s needs for iron, high-quality protein and other key nutrients.
It is worth noting that when vegetables are first added, especially vegetables rich in dietary fiber such as green vegetables, carrots and agaric, almost every baby will appear the same vegetables in poop.
If the vegetables have been treated into delicate characters, the baby will still have residue in the poop after eating them. There is no need to worry about nutrition not being absorbed. This phenomenon will gradually improve with the increase of the baby’s age.
But in addition, mothers should be on guard against the following two situations:
Food allergy: When a new food is added, diarrhea or constipation occurs, or accompanied by skin and respiratory symptoms.
Dyspepsia: The poop contains a large amount of food residue, and the poop is watery, which obviously increases the number of times. It is suggested to reduce food intake, let gastrointestinal tract rest, and provide light and digestible food.
Q2:
Mother of vegetables, after my baby added supplementary food, it took several days to poop. Is it constipation?
This kind of situation is very common, mainly because after adding supplementary food, the baby began to transition from the original pure liquid food to semi-liquid food. Gastrointestinal tract received a lot of strange protein, fat and so on, need gastrointestinal tract to have a process of adaptation to new food.
Therefore, during this period, babies’ defecation habits will inevitably change. The reduction of defecation frequency and the change of defecation characteristics are normal phenomena.
Even if there are some food residues added with supplementary foods, it is normal. After that, the baby’s poop will gradually change from thin paste several times a day to strip once a day or once a few days. As long as the discharge is soft instead of granular, the process is not very painful and is not constipation!
Q3:
Mother of vegetables, is it not normal for the child to poop once every two days after adding supplementary food and become long?
After adding supplementary foods, the baby transits from complete liquid food milk to semi-solid and solid food, which means that it is getting closer and closer to the adult’s diet pattern. At this time, of course, the baby’s poop will also change accordingly!
The most direct is the frequency and character of poop. The frequency of poop will gradually change from several times a day to once a day or once every two days.
The characteristics of poop will also change, getting closer and closer to the adult pattern. From the thin paste when drinking milk to the ball or strip.
Of course, the color may also change with the color of the food. Experienced mothers even know what Eva ate yesterday by looking at poop. For example, if you eat red pitaya and beetroot, it may be red. Eat green dishes, may be green; After eating bananas, there may be small black strips and so on.
Therefore, after adding supplementary foods, your baby’s poop frequency has decreased, its properties have become solid, and its color is no longer golden yellow every day… These are all normal things, but don’t think they are constipation!
For babies who add supplementary foods, the real constipation is dry stool and difficult defecation. Please remember it!
