Patient's question:
Thank you for the answer from the divine doctor Wang Wang, but is it normal to only sleep for 10 or so hours? And is it normal to have green bowel movements again? Please advise once more!Doctor's answer:
Hello: The situation you mentioned regarding the child should be fine! Don't worry too much. The reasons for green stools are as follows:1. The milk products contain rich iron that is not absorbed in time, and it is excreted in the stool, causing it to be green.
2. During the digestion process, less bile is consumed, and the excess bile is excreted in the stool, making it green.
3. Inflammation in the intestines or excessive intestinal movement causes the bilirubin in the intestines to be excreted before it is converted, resulting in green stools.
Passing green stools is called "hunger diarrhea," which means the baby is full after drinking only the foremilk and not enough hindmilk. Foremilk is thinner and contains more protein and water, used to quench thirst, while hindmilk is richer in fat and calories, used to satisfy hunger and promote growth. Extend the feeding time slightly, and if too much milk is consumed, some foremilk should be discarded to allow the baby to drink more hindmilk. Breastfed babies are less prone to illness.
