Neonatal black loose stools may be caused by improper diet, drug stimulation, gastrointestinal bleeding and other reasons.
1. Poor
digestion of newborns. If the milk contains a lot of fat, the gastrointestinal tract cannot digest and metabolize normally, causing abnormal defecation. The stools may be black, green and thinner.
2. Drug stimulation
If the newborn takes drugs containing iron ions, the body cannot completely absorb them, and some iron ions will be excreted with the stools, causing the color of the stools to change.
3. Gastrointestinal bleeding occurs in
newborns. Blood enters the intestine and becomes black after oxidation. Black stools will occur, and stools will not form.
