Patient's question:
Baby is 40 days old. Previously, the baby had 7-8 bowel movements a day, and it was said to be indigestion, so probiotics were given to regulate it. Today is the third day of taking probiotics. Previously, the baby's stools were yellow, but yesterday the baby had yellow-green stools, and today there were many loose, egg-like stools with a lot of water. What could be the reason? The baby is mainly formula-fed, with occasional breastfeeding.Doctor's answer:
How long has the baby been in this condition for these few days? Except for the changes in bowel movements, has anything else changed? According to your description and the bowel movement situation, the baby's condition is caused by formula feeding. Probiotics are indeed effective for the baby's intestinal problems. It is best not to feed the baby with breast milk and formula separately, as it can easily cause changes in the color of the stool.This is the advice for the question "Baby is 40 days old, previously had 7-8 bowel movements a day." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
