Patient's question:
Recently, my child has been having diarrhea, and probiotics haven't helped much. Sometimes the stool has curds, and other times it's frothy. What could be the reason? My child is being mixed-fed with breast milk and formula, and is 3 days away from being full-term.Doctor's answer:
Considering that the child's indigestion is caused by a weak spleen and stomach, it is recommended to take infant spleen-strengthening powder. The baby's condition is also related to the mother's diet, as well as the baby's underdeveloped absorption function. It is suggested that the mother's diet should be light and easy to digest. On the other hand, the fat particles in ordinary formula milk and fresh milk are relatively large, making it difficult for the baby to absorb them. It is recommended to strictly sterilize feeding utensils during feeding, follow the recommended feeding guidelines, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid overfeeding.
