Patient's question:
My baby started eating both breast milk and formula on the eighth day of his birth. He has been a bit uncomfortable with his stomach. His bowel movements are like scrambled eggs, a bit runny, and sometimes look bubbly. The color is yellow with a hint of green. Could there be a problem?Doctor's answer:
From the baby's course of illness, the reappearance of green stools is still related to the digestive absorption function. Previously, there were symptoms of nausea and vomiting, and the recurrence of green stools now indicates that the absorption function has not fully returned to normal. In fact, although the baby is not currently experiencing nausea or vomiting, it is still recommended to wait until the intestines are fully recovered before taking the grape calcium iron zinc supplement, as it may cause certain gastrointestinal side effects. Since the baby is now sleeping deeply normally, has good spirits, and shows no symptoms of nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, medication may not be necessary for the time being. It will naturally improve in a few days. During this period, pay attention to preventing colds.
