After the National Day holiday, I received a lot of messages about the baby's "constipation".
The children's diet is irregular and the difficulty of stooling is really heartbreaking for the old mother.
Every tumble of poop is a barometer of the mother's mood: good poop is sunny, bad poop is cloudy, rainy, haze...
But do you really know what good poop is and what bad poop is?
How to help children regulate their diet and pull out a good poop?
Senior nutrition expert Teacher Jia Mei is here to help everyone solve their doubts!
is good for stool. After this,
three meals, the baby 's stool has a famous "Bristol classification method" (as shown below).
It vividly classifies stools of different traits:
bad stool traits
peanut bean shape, grape bunch and corn cob shape (1-3 in the above picture) stool are all dry stools, and babies are likely to be constipated.
Egg soup sample is generally what we often call watery stool (7 in the above picture) . It has basically no solid ingredients or contains a whole piece of undigested food and milk valves, and may be accompanied by mucus. It is more common for diarrhea caused by various reasons.
Good stool traits
The ideal stool is small sausage-shaped stool (4 in the above picture) , which is smooth, soft and moist;
fried chicken nuggets (5 in the above picture) is also a relatively normal stool;
sesame-shaped stool is not formed, and it is a relatively sticky paste, which is more common in infants and young children before adding complementary foods and adults with poor digestive functions.
These foods allow the baby to get good poop
During the holiday, due to irregular diet, reduced water consumption and reduced exercise, the child may have difficulty defecation and the poop may be dry and hard.
In addition to regulating intestinal bacterial , you can also give your baby more foods rich in fiber -
and you need to work harder to pull out good poop
vegetables and fruits, why are you still bad poop?
Generally, the amount of water consumed by a baby mainly comes from a small amount of water between milk and three meals.
Vegetables and fruits can only provide part of the moisture, and relatively speaking, they can provide some dietary fiber, but the amount of fruits and vegetables in infants and young children does not consume much, nor will they provide a lot of moisture and dietary fiber.
If the drinking water is guaranteed, the stool will still be dry, can try to add fat to the food. It not only improves the problem of dry and hard stool, but also helps to increase the energy density of the food.
In addition, pay attention to whether calcium supplementation is too much. If you consume a lot of calcium and lack of vitamin D, the calcium that cannot be absorbed will bind fat in the intestine to form calcium soap , which is a common cause of dry and hard stools.
Develop these habits and can also pull out good poop
◉ Develop the habit of regular bowel movements.
◉ Develop the habit of drinking water at any time.
◉ Appropriately increase the amount of physical activity of children.
◉ Increase dietary types and appropriately increase the fat, yogurt, fruits and vegetables (dietary fiber) in the diet.
I wish all babies can pull out perfect good poop!
