Formula feeding, sticky and pasty stool with curds, is it indigestion?

Patient's question:

Babies fed with formula (two months old) have sticky, viscous stools, occasionally yellow-green in color, with curds, sometimes they have two to three bowel movements a day, and sometimes only one or none at all. Is it indigestion or what? Does it have anything to do with the formula they are drinking? Do they need to switch to a different formula?

Doctor's answer:

According to your interpretation, consider the symptoms caused by indigestion. It is recommended to feed in small amounts and multiple meals, stopping when appropriate, and avoid overfeeding. You can take probiotics or other medications to adjust the intestinal flora to alleviate the symptoms. If symptoms such as fever, nausea, and vomiting reappear, you should seek medical attention for diagnosis. This is the advice for the question "Is the sticky, curdled stool with milk curds in a two-month-old baby who is bottle-fed due to indigestion?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
