My baby does not peanut: how to help you hurt?

Newborns usually make their first deposition in the first 24 or 48 hours of life.It is a black, thick and sticky poop, called meconium.After a few days of transition deposits, very liquid and a grayish green color, they begin to make the typical chest child: semi -filled, golden yellow (sometimes tied or greenish), with good smell and very frequent.Many babies make peanut every time they suck, although some do less, only 4 or 5 a day, and others make more poop between shots, until exceeding 20 a day.

If a newborn does not make any peanut in the first 48 hours, or if later no weeks spend several cacas a day, the pediatrician must be consulted.It could be normal, but it could also be some congenital problem, such as Hirschsprung's disease (a piece of the rectum, the final part of the large intestine).In this case, they do not usually expel gases.

Babies who take the bottle usually make the cacas somewhat harder (a few years ago they made dry balls, but that has improved with the changes in the composition of the milk), of darker color, less frequent and with a worse smell.For those who make it harder, there are "anti -staging" milks in the market.

Those who take exclusive breastfeeding usually make a change towards two or four months.They continue to make the peanut of the same consistency, semiquid and yellow, but instead of making several a day they do one every several days.

Almost all babies become two or three days without defecating;Many are five or seven days, some 10 or 15 days, and there are even more.But they do it effortlessly or pain.That is not constipation;It is completely normal, and there is nothing to do: we must not give the baby juice, neither water, nor herbs, nor laxatives, nor put the thermometer for the ass nor the spline of parsley nor suppositories.You don't have to do anything, because it is normal, and it will already make peanut only when you have to do.

These rare cacas only appear in the baby with exclusive breastfeeding.Normally a little artificial milk or any other food is enough for the effect to disappear: either they make peanut more frequently or fall into true constipation, with hard and dry stool.As until a few years ago there were very few babies who would take exclusive breastfeeding for more than two months, some doctors and nurses still do not know that being like peanut is normal in chest children.
