Patient's question:
A 42-day-old baby has had four bowel movements from yesterday morning to early morning, and once again this morning. Since the full moon, everything has been normal, except for today when they had so many. The amount of stool is also about the same as usual. The stool has always been yellow, viscous, with some grain-like particles in the middle, and has a sour smell. The baby is being mixed-fed, with some Aptamil formula added when breastfeeding is insufficient. The nanny left and told me that at around 40 days, there was once a week without a bowel movement. She said not to worry, as it was normal. Why is it suddenly having so many now?Doctor's answer:
The baby has been having so much diarrhea, which is likely due to breast milk-induced nausea and vomiting. As long as the child is in good spirits and eating well, it's okay to wait and see. Pay attention to keeping the child warm, don't let their stomach get cold, and make sure to feed on time. Also, pay attention to the temperature of the formula being appropriate. Keep a close eye on the child. If the diarrhea persists for a long time, it's best to take them to the hospital for a thorough check-up. I hope my explanation helps you.This is the advice for the question "Why is she suddenly having so much diarrhea?" I hope it's helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
