A baby’s stool is usually light yellow or clay-colored, firm in texture, well-formed, and does not wet the diaper. They typically defecate 1-2 times a day or every 1-2 days. As they grow older and eat more, their stool will gradually become similar to that of adults. Abnormal stool may include increased frequency, resembling watery diarrhea with mucus and foam, or having a foul smell, which may indicate diarrhea; decreased frequency, difficulty defecating, and hard stools may indicate constipation. If you are concerned about your baby’s stool situation, it is recommended to consult a doctor for professional advice and appropriate assistance.
