Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What could be the reason for loose stools after adding rice powder to the baby's formula?Doctor's answer:
Generally, not having a bowel movement for two days is not a major issue. Pay attention to the baby's diet and drink more water. Make sure the child is warm. Drinking some warm juice or vegetable juice can help with bowel movement. Let the child play more and engage in physical activity to promote intestinal movement. There's no need to go to the hospital yet; wait and see. Based on your description, the white discharge is normal vaginal self-cleaning secretions and residual urine. It is recommended to gently wipe with newborn-specific PP wipes and then rinse with clean water from above. Keep the area dry and clean.
