Is it indigestion if a baby who is 3 months old doesn't leave their butt clean from poop?

Patient's question:

The baby is 3 months old and doesn't leave the toilet without stool. Sometimes they have a bowel movement every hour, but not at night. Is it due to breastfeeding or indigestion? Can this situation involve reducing the amount of formula fed per day?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you still go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of a hospital for pediatric acupuncture. Acupuncture itself has no side effects, and it is still effective. It is quite good for re-adjusting the child's spleen and stomach function. However, you can also give your child some probiotics to regulate their digestion. Probiotics for the gut from reputable brands are safe to consume. After a period of regulation, you can see if the baby still has the same problems.
