How to handle yellow loose stools in a three-month-old baby

Patient's question:

A three-month-old baby has loose yellow, watery stools. The baby is in good spirits, able to eat and sleep, but needs to have two or three bowel movements a day, which are not very frequent but a bit runny! What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

A three-month-old baby should not be given any complementary foods yet. Wait until the gastrointestinal function is completely restored before introducing them. If the baby is in good spirits, it is recommended to give them oral probiotics, but be careful not to eat other foods randomly. Additionally, considering this may be a case of indigestion, as the child's gastrointestinal development is not yet fully mature, it is advisable to give the child oral gut probiotics to help regulate their intestinal function. Wait for more than a week to see the effects.
