Patient's question:
A baby just a few days old cried and fussed today when it had a bowel movement, but then felt better after finishing. The stool was a bit looser than the previous two days. What could be the issue?Doctor's answer:
It might be due to poor absorption. You can give the baby more water, and you can gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction. Taking probiotics can help regulate his intestinal absorption, or you can take bifidobacteria. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. The above suggestions are for the question "Why is the baby's stool less liquid than the previous two days after being born for a few days?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
