Patient's question:
A 4-month, 21-day-old baby is exclusively breastfed. Previously, they had a bowel movement every 3 days, but in the past week, they have been having 2 bowel movements per day. The stool is yellow with small curds of milk. The adult's diet remains the same and hasn't changed recently. What could be the reason, doctor?Doctor's answer:
If the child has no abnormalities and is feeding well, there is no major issue. If the child accompanies crying, poor feeding, and fever, it may have enteritis. In such cases, it is recommended to use an external navel patch. At the same time, pay attention to preventing colds, especially the navel area at night to avoid catching a cold. Maintain a suitable temperature and humidity indoors, and you can also give the child more warm water to drink and massage the baby's small abdomen, which is beneficial.
