YOGYAKARTA Babies who do not match formula milk generally show various symptoms, one of which is that there is a change in color in the process. Therefore, it is important to know the color of the baby's fesses does not match the formula.

Breast milk is actually the best source of nutrition for babies. Breast milk must be given exclusively for the first 6 months and continued until the age of 2 years. But sometimes mothers also provide formula milk to their children for certain reasons, such as difficulty in producing breast milk to the health condition of babies who need special nutrition.

On the other hand, giving formula milk can change the color of the baby's feces and defecation frequency (BAB).

The question is, what is the color of the baby's phase that doesn't match and doesn't match the formula milk? Let's find out the answer in the following article.

Quoted from the Baby Center page, babies who are given formula milk usually have thick glass, such as peanut butter, with colors in the brown spectrum.cash colors can vary from light chocolate, yellowish chocolate, to greenish chocolate.

Since formula milk has thicker consistency and is slightly more difficult to digest than breast milk, some of its ingredients will go directly through the baby's digestive tract. Featuration of a baby who is given formula milk also usually has a sharper aroma than a baby who is breastfed, although it is still lighter than the smell of a baby who has started eating solid food. However, you will be able to recognize the smell.

If you decide to change the formula milk brand, be prepared to see changes to your baby's color, texture, and even taste.

Green baby feces can be a sign of iron content in formula milk. Iron in formula milk is not absorbed as effectively as iron in breast milk, so it can cause the color to turn green. If you provide iron supplements to the baby, it may turn dark green or almost black. This is rare, but still relatively normal.

Meanwhile, babies that do not match formula milk, especially those made from cow milk, will usually issue pale yellow feces. This color change occurs due to the faster digestive process than usual.

In addition to changing colors, the smell of the feces is also more rotten and the frequency of bowel movements increases, aka diarrhea. When this happens, the baby will be more fussy because there is a lot of gas in the stomach.

Formula milk is generally made from cow's milk which has been added with nutrients to resemble the content of breast milk.

If the baby does not fit the formula, it means that the baby has an allergy to cow's milk protein or intolerance to lactose (the sugar in cow's milk).

Dismatch with protein or lactose in cow's milk can cause digestive disorders and changes in fessess color after drinking formula milk.
