We have 2008 child health handbook "infant stool card" color from the original 6 to 9 colors. New baby stool color identification, unusual colors total of six colors, numbered from 1 to 6; normal color of 7 to 9. We hope to increase the identify abnormal stool color, the health care workers, parents can more clearly distinguish the baby is abnormal stool color. 

In addition to emphasis on infant stool color, also please pay special attention to the baby's jaundice problem. Neonatal jaundice is quite common in our infant, full two weeks after birth, the majority of neonatal jaundice has subsided; if sustained prolonged neonatal jaundice, some babies may suffer from symptoms of bile retention / biliary atresia, do not think are breast-feeding jaundice caused, so the best time to treat patients lose.
