But it is important to understand the bowel movements of the baby are the norm, and which – the reason for seeking medical attention.
Many moms wonder about why the newborn has diarrhea. Normal consistency and color of feces in infants determines the method of feeding. Bowel movements the baby breast feeding will differ from the feces of children on artificial food. Diarrhea in a newborn with breastfeeding, as a rule, is the norm. As the intestine is populated with beneficial microorganisms, consistency and color may vary. Also, it affects the diet of the mother. For example, if the mother had lunch with fruits and vegetables, the color may become greenish.
The Texture can also change, from liquid to mushy. Sometimes you see slightly frothy. If the watery stool of a newborn while breastfeeding found undigested particles of milk (like cheese), should not be afraid. Just the kid for the complete digestion of milk at this age do not have enough enzymes.
