Patient's question:
Doctor, my newborn baby has had diarrhea for 2 days out of the first 5 days of life. He has been having 5 to 6 bowel movements daily, with watery, yellow stools. He sleeps lightly and wakes up easily. Over the past two days, he has been crying and having convulsions even while sleeping well. His appetite is excellent, and he wants to eat almost every one and a half hours. After eating, he burps and then vomits, but he still continues to eat.

You, based on the situation you described, the baby may have nausea and vomiting caused by an imbalance of intestinal flora. The baby sleeping lightly and waking easily may be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to go to a professional maternity and baby store to choose and buy probiotics for the baby, selecting those with a high number of active bacteria. Probiotics can effectively regulate the intestines and reduce intestinal immunity. Pay attention not to let the water temperature for mixing the probiotics be lower than 40 degrees. For the baby's calcium deficiency, it is best to use liquid calcium or chelated calcium, as they have a better effect in eliminating the deficiency. Combine it with fish oil to enhance calcium absorption. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
