Patient's question:
67-day-old baby is breastfed. In the past two days, there have been frequent bowel movements in the morning, but the amount is small, and there are tomato seed-like things in the stool. This has happened before, and taking some probiotics helps. How is it caused, and how can it be prevented?Doctor's answer:
A baby who is breastfed may again experience an increase in bowel movements and the presence of curds, which indicates poor digestive function. For this situation, you should also observe if the baby is crying or restless. If so, it is important to test the stool promptly to check for any contagious issues, as treatment may differ. If the baby is in good spirits, then pay attention to preventing colds and ensuring the mother's diet is warm and not greasy. Focus on probiotics.
