Patient's question:
My baby is two and a half months old. The previous formula made her have a bad stomach, so she didn't sleep well at night. Now we switched to another formula, and she sleeps deeply, but she has a bowel movement every time she eats. We even took probiotics, but her stool became looser instead. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Probiotics are used to regulate the gut microbiota and have a dual-directional selection, meaning they can be used for both constipation and nausea/vomiting in babies. For your baby, probiotics have helped alleviate bowel movements, which may have led to nausea and vomiting. Additionally, the baby may have had more bowel movements after drinking formula. So, these two factors could be the reasons. You can have a stool test done to check. Wishing the little one a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
