Patient's question:
The baby is two weeks old now. Currently, they are being fed a mix of breast milk and formula. Their stools are watery, while at other times they are formed with many curds, and each time they have a mix of both watery and formed stools, clearly distinguishable. Additionally, they burp for a few minutes after every feeding, and every time they pass gas, it comes out with stool. Is this normal? What should be done? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
?Hello, based on your description, it is considered that the child may have poor digestion. If the child is breastfed, it is recommended that the mother adjusts her diet, avoiding excessive greasiness and consuming more fruits and vegetables. Hope this helps.Additionally, pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm, offer the baby more water, and you can also use an umbilical patch for the baby. Hope this helps. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
Causes of pediatric digestive diseases are numerous. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including supporting gastrointestinal decompression, and developing good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to develop picky eating habits in the child and maintain a balanced diet.
