How to treat diarrhea in a 29-day-old baby

Patient's question:

A 29-day-old baby, exclusively formula-fed. The baby only had a bowel movement twice in the past two days. Last night, they had one, and this morning, they had two more. The stools are loose. They have been crying intermittently since 3 a.m. and haven't napped. Could this be indigestion? If so, what should be done?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it should be due to digestive disorders caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction leading to indigestion. I personally recommend you to have a stool routine examination done at the hospital laboratory to clarify whether it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation that is causing it. You can give the baby some probiotics and pay attention to preventing colds. The above is the advice on the question "What should I do if my 29-day-old baby has diarrhea?", hoping it helps you, and wishing you good health!
