Patient's question:
The baby is 100 days old, being mixed-fed. Is this stool normal? It has a slightly sour smell. The baby ate before the nap last night and has had a bowel movement all day. This has been happening for the past week. Is it a normal phenomenon? Will it interfere with vaccinations?Doctor's answer:
Mixed feeding for a three-month-old baby, with one to two bowel movements per day. The color is golden yellow. The smell is sour, and these are all normal phenomena. If there are more curds in the stool, consider indigestion. The mom should eat a light and easily digestible diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods.Mothers should gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction with their palms, rubbing it for ten minutes each time, three times a day, to promote gastrointestinal movement. Also, let the baby get more sun exposure to enhance calcium absorption.
