Patient's question:
The baby has been born for 3 months now. They have had 10 many bowel movements a day, sometimes with gas as well. The stool is very loose, sometimes with just bubbles. They are exclusively breastfed and do not cry excessively.Is there any good way to treat this?
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Taken probiotics, but it didn’t work well.
What kind of help is needed: Any good methods for self-healing?
Doctor's answer:
The baby could also have a cold. If the odor of the stool is noticeable, it indicates poor protein digestion, and the milk intake should be appropriately increased or the milk diluted. If there are many bubbles in the stool, it indicates poor digestion, and it may be necessary to increase or even stop feeding starchy foods. The presence of curds suggests poor digestion and absorption.Recommendations:
It is recommended that you give the baby fish liver oil for digestion, which can enhance the absorption of calcium. Additionally, you can give the baby some probiotics. Probiotics are beneficial for adjusting the baby's intestinal flora, preventing issues like diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, improving digestion and absorption, and stabilizing the baby's gastrointestinal function.
