Is it normal for a six month old baby to just add complementary food for a week to pull green poop?

Mothers usually feel nervous when they see their baby pull out green poop, because this color of poop is more of a sign that something is wrong with the baby's body. However, it is not possible to generalize, mothers should learn to make a comprehensive judgment based on the characteristics and smell of poop, and if everything is normal except for the color, then there is no need to worry too much.

Normal green poop.

The color and bile of the stool.

There is a close connection that breastfed babies have acidic stools, which are partially bilirubin under the action of intestinal bacteria.

It is converted to biliverdin, which makes the stool light green, which is normal and will improve as the baby grows. For artificially fed babies, the substances added to the formula are also very rich, if the baby drinks the formula with a relatively high iron content, and the iron-containing substances are not completely absorbed by the baby, then the stool will be green. In addition, when your baby starts to add complementary foods, eating green vegetables may also make the poop green in color.

Green poop to watch out for.

The baby's milk is cold or the baby's abdomen and feet are cold, and there is a sour smell and more foam, the mother should pay attention to keep the baby warm, and pay attention to whether the baby has a fever and cold.

If necessary, give prompt care or take the baby to the doctor and perform a laboratory test on the poop to rule out the possibility of bacterial infection. The second situation is that hunger causes the bowel to move too quickly, so that the baby excretes green stools, if the baby has no other uncomfortable symptoms, the mother can try to increase the amount of milk for the baby, and observe.

In addition, I would like to ask, what are the complementary foods added by the baby, is there a green vegetable?

If you have green vegetables, it's normal to pull green poop, but if you eat carrots, you may pull poop that is about the same color as carrots.

It's not very normal, because the green one means that the stomach and intestines are not digested well, but the baby who adds complementary food thinks that this is a change of stomach, and it must be not digested well, and it will be better to eat some probiotics to assist in the digestion of complementary food.

It is normal for the baby to have other colors in the stool after adding complementary food, which may be due to the weak ability of the baby's intestinal digestive system to completely digest and absorb complementary food, resulting in this type of problem. Generally, the stool is dark green, which may also be caused by the baby's abdomen cold, it is recommended that parents must do a good job of keeping the baby's abdomen warm to reduce the chance of cold, which is helpful to alleviate the baby's abnormal stool, and parents must stop the intake of complementary food at this stage, and wait for the baby's bowel system to return to normal before adding complementary food. At this stage, you can properly feed the baby some warm water to promote the ability of intestinal digestion and absorption, and completely excrete the rest of the feces in the body before adding complementary food.

Precautions when adding complementary foods:

1. When the baby adds complementary food, it follows the principle of light, which means that it is to keep it light, when the baby eats breast milk, it is very light, do not worry about the baby because the complementary food is light and does not eat, the baby's taste is very light.

2. When the baby adds complementary food, do not add some discretionary materials and salt, and the complementary food can maintain the original taste. The baby is not allowed to add salt within one year of age, and adding salt will increase the burden on the baby's kidneys. The baby's organs are not fully developed, so they cannot eat salt and spices within one year of age.

3. When the baby's gastrointestinal digestion function is perfected and the nutritional needs are increasing, you can add some meat puree, and adding it too early will increase the baby's gastrointestinal burden and cause her to have indigestion. Certain foods that babies don't necessarily want to eat now, and some can be added after the age of one. When nuts, one-year-old babies can't eat them, which will cause allergies in the baby, so you should wait for the baby to be one year old and add a little appropriately.

The baby is not digested well, and it is necessary to pause the paving, and wait for the digestion to be better before starting to add the paving.

Baby's green stool is generally caused by the following reasons:

1. The baby may have overflowing milk and green stool in the case of cold and indigestion. If the lab test is normal, it may be due to indigestion or a cold in the abdomen.

2. When the baby is not full, the baby is hungry and causes the gastrointestinal peristalsis to move too fast, so that the bilirubin in the intestine has not been converted, and it is discharged from the stool, and the poop is green and thin.

3. In the process of digestion of fat, less bile is consumed, and excess bile is discharged from the stool, making the stool green. If the mother thinks that the baby eats a lot, it is indigestion, and the baby can be given some probiotics.

4. If the baby who eats milk powder containing iron cannot fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, the stool will be yellow-green, and the white particles in the stool will be larger, and it is easier to smell.

5. When the baby first adds vegetable puree, a small amount of green vegetable puree is often discharged in the stool, and some mothers often think that it is indigestion and stop adding vegetable puree, in fact, this phenomenon is a common thing for healthy babies to change food.

Parents should pay attention to the comparison, judge what causes the baby to pull green stool, and prescribe the right medicine to choose the best method suitable for the baby.

The baby's stool is green because the food residue is digested by bile, and the bile is yellow and makes the stool acidic, and occasionally turns green when it comes into contact with the air after being excreted; Nowadays, because the composition of infant formula is close to that of breast milk, there will also be green stool, as long as the stool is normal, there is no need to worry. However, if the baby's green stool is accompanied by an increase in the frequency of stool, the abnormal character should be considered to be caused by diarrhea, and a stool examination is needed to clarify the cause and treat the symptoms**.

6-month-old children should still be based on milk, and they need to ensure 600-800ml of milk every day, feed them in 4 times, and add 1 meal and 1 time of fruit. Complementary food can be added rice noodles, egg yolks, vegetables, fruits, fish puree, meat puree, soy products, etc., pay attention to the added complementary food flavor should not be too heavy, should be light. After the baby is 8-9 months old, you can add rotten noodles, stewed and boiled as well.
