Breast milk diarrhea has several symptoms

How many symptoms does breast milk diarrhea have? Breast milk diarrhea is one of the many types of diarrhea in children. Diarrhea caused by breastfeeding may be due to the high prostaglandin content in breast milk, or it may be due to lactose intolerance in children. So, how many symptoms does breast milk diarrhea have? The following is a detailed introduction for you.

1. Many bowel problems

Children with breast milk diarrhea have abnormally frequent bowel movements, which gradually increase in frequency, usually 3-7 times a day. The stools are watery, foamy, and watery, with a special sour odor. The stools are watery and slightly green, with foam and milk curds, and sometimes even with strips of transparent mucus.

2. The baby does not show any abnormal behavior

There is no fever during diarrhea, the baby does not have obvious pain or crying, and the stool test shows no abnormal infection. The degree of diarrhea generally has no other symptoms, the baby is lively and has a good appetite. Although the diarrhea lasts for a long time, the baby's weight gain can still be maintained at about 300g every 10 days, and it is not cured. If the diarrhea lasts for a long time, it may lead to serious consequences such as growth stagnation and malnutrition in the baby, which requires timely treatment.

When so-called physiological breast milk diarrhea occurs, do not switch to milk feeding for the purpose of forming stools. The baby's body will gradually adapt to the prostaglandins in breast milk, and the lactase will gradually mature and the enzyme activity will increase, so it can decompose, digest and absorb lactose, and the condition will gradually improve with the addition of complementary foods.

In addition, be careful not to cover the nipple of the child. After each breast is basically empty, if you continue to suck, the fat content in the milk will increase, which is easy to cause fat indigestion. It is recommended to suck when you want to suck, and stop when you don’t want to suck. Each time for about 10 minutes, the full breast can be basically sucked empty.
