Patient's question:
A 16-day-old baby, mixed feeding, the stool contains many curds, the number of bowel movements is about 10 times a day, sometimes it's a bit runny. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby has ten bowel movements a day, which is a bit frequent. The stool contains curds, and frequent bowel movements indicate that the baby may have digestive issues, primarily related to poor absorption and digestion of formula milk or breast milk, or lactose intolerance. It is recommended to try a new brand of formula milk, take probiotics orally, and also pay attention to preventing the baby's abdomen from getting cold. Carefully observe the baby's condition, such as whether they are crying or showing other symptoms. The above suggestions are for this issue. We hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
