What is the situation when a baby's stool is foamy?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms: Stool floats on water, full of bubbles, and it's very difficult to defecate. Onset time: 1 week. Test results: None. Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.

Doctor's answer:

Physiological diarrhea refers to the condition where, after birth or after a certain period, infants frequently experience some nausea and vomiting, with a higher frequency of bowel movements, up to 6-7 times a day. The stool is yellow and watery or yellow-green, but contains little moisture, without pus, blood, or undigested food components. A stool routine examination shows no red blood cells or white blood cells, no high fever, retching, or other discomfort symptoms. The infant is in good spirits and has a good appetite, with normal urine output and no interference with average weight gain. Such infants are often relatively plump, with an age of less than 6 months, and are mostly breastfed.
