Patient's question:
Baby is 50 days old. Around 40 days, the baby had consecutive days where they only had a bowel movement once, and it was very dry and pasty. Recently for the past 3 days, the bowel movements have started to become looser, and the frequency has increased to 2-3 times. Today, the baby had two loose bowel movements and then one more that was almost like water, but the color was golden yellow. Is this normal? I am breastfeeding!Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is likely due to indigestion or catching a cold. It is recommended that you give the baby oral probiotics, Shan Mai Jian Pi Kou Fu Ye, Bao Bao Le, or Xing Pi Yang Er Ke Li to try. At the same time, you should also shorten the feeding interval time. Alternatively, you can dilute the formula milk ratio to give the baby's digestive system a rest. It is also important to give the baby more water. Breastfeeding may also be affected by the mother's diet impacting the baby. It is best to apply an umbilical patch to the baby to help alleviate diarrhea.
