If the baby has infrequent and runny bowel movements, how should it be handled?

Patient's question:

The baby is seven months old and has bowel movements where a single fart comes out, not much, just a little, and it's also quite runny, but the color is normal, yellow. After taking probiotics, there hasn't been much effect. Yesterday, I cooked carrots and brown sugar for him, but it didn't help either. It's been two days now. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

This situation should be due to digestive function disorders in infants, which leads to changes in stool characteristics, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and regurgitation. Dietary restriction is necessary, with the suspension of complementary foods to reduce gastrointestinal pressure. Focusing on probiotic intake and adding montmorillonite powder for regulation can be more effective. In the future, attention should be paid to avoiding excessive complementary food intake. At the same time, it is important to give the child more water and maintain a light diet. Boiling some millet porridge for the baby can also be beneficial.
