Often a chair in a baby can cause a lot of fears of his parents. In some cases, the ancestors are worried in vain, t. Many features of the chair of a small child are caused by the work of the gastrointestinal tract, which has not yet fully normalized.

Though to any parent it is perfectly clear, what unrest can cause a chair of their baby. After all, in fact, analyzing the emptying of the baby, you can draw some conclusions about his state of health. But not so rarely the conclusions that the ancestors make are completely inconsistent with reality. So, for example, they found the baby very rare or on the contrary a frequent chair and "raised a panic", although there may not be any reasons for concern. Specifically, in order to ensure that adults do not worry about their own children, this article will examine the main features of a child's chair.

First, it must be said that depending on the method of feeding, the frequency of emptying. So, the baby who is breastfed will have a more frequent chair than the one who is on artificial feeding. With all this, the consistency of the stool will be more dense and thick, and from the milk - more watery and mushy. The color of the feces can be different: from yellow-brown to greenish. At the same time, this is also considered the norm. From a medical point of view, this is explained by the fact that the gallbladder secretes two pigments that stain the feces: biliverdin and bilirubin. The first of them, impregnating feces, assigns them a greenish coloring, and the second - a brown one. Therefore, if the baby has a very frequent stool, he does not always have time to stain in the brown color. It is justified by the fact that only the first pigment can react in a small time lapse, which leads to a greenish color.

Rare emptying strikes and worries parents more than a frequent chair in a baby. Although in this case there are specific features. In order that the situation with the number of defecations was more understandable, it must be emphasized that a frequent chair is justified by the fact that the baby's gastrointestinal tract in the first months of life is still poorly adapted to taking food, and the baby is also poorly digested by the food received. Therefore, if your "child" is emptied less often than some other kids at his age, this may indicate the best absorption of food. The prerequisite for more rare defecations can also be the fact that the child has not yet learned how to manage his intestinal tract. Therefore, if the chair passes often at least once in three days, then this condition can be considered the norm. With all this, under no circumstances should you give laxatives, do enemas, or just "help" the child with a thermometer or soap. By taking these measures, you can further worsen the situation, because you simply deprive the baby of the ability to learn to control the work of the intestinal tract. In addition, laxatives can damage the body and cause addiction, t. In the upcoming baby and completely fails to emptise without the help of others.

In general, characterizing the state of health of the child in principle, pay attention not to his chair alone, but to the general condition. So, for example, if the baby behaves as usual, completely happy and satisfied, does not pick and choose, eats and drifts, then there is no cause for concern. If his state of health is aggravated, then one should think about the reasons and can contact the doctor. For example, if the baby's belly is a little "swollen", while he is crying and yanking his legs, this is most likely indicative of the accumulation of gases in the intestinal tract of the baby. In this case, the child needs to help and cause a chair. This will contribute to the escape of gases, then the baby will calm down immediately.

Close attention should be paid to the condition of the baby, if he has a frequent watery stool. With all this, we are not talking about a liquid gruel, which can be just a baby who is on pure breastfeeding. Take some measures should be only in this case, when the baby croaks a very watery trickle (the mixture is actually like water), t. It can very quickly lead to dehydration of the child's body. In this situation, the child can give some fixing products: rice broth, pear juice, banana puree, carrot soup.
