What does the stool of a breastfed baby look like?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what breastfed babies' bowel movements look like?

Doctor's answer:

It is best not to exceed 200 milliliters of milk each time you feed, and five times a day is sufficient; alternatively, you can reduce the milk intake to 150 milliliters and then give the baby some juice, apple puree, or carrot puree, etc. This way, it is both nutritious and helps prevent constipation. The symptoms of constipation in babies are caused by poor digestion and absorption issues, which should be treated with timely massage. Oral probiotics can also be used. They can have a certain effect.
