Question
Is it normal for a baby’s stool to have an acidic taste?
Answer
Breastfed babies may have yellow or golden yellow stools that are uniform in consistency, resembling cream or paste, occasionally thinning out and slightly greenish. They may also have an acidic taste but should not be smelly, and they typically defecate two to four times a day. This is considered normal. There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and should provide a balanced diet.
