Patient's question:
A baby is 20 days old. Breast milk is not enough for him to eat once a day, so he drinks formula milk. He has 6 to 7 bowel movements a day, which are yellow and granular. Is it poor digestion? What should I do?The baby sleeps well during the day, but at night, he keeps fussing and doesn't sleep soundly! He needs to be fed every hour and a half. After finishing each feeding and burping, he soon starts to yawn. What's going on? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:
The burping of babies is caused by air in their stomachs, so when feeding, we must pay attention to the correct feeding method, choose a suitable bottle, and try to avoid letting the baby swallow air. If the child's symptoms are severe, related medications can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. These medications can promote gastrointestinal motility, allowing air in the stomach to be expelled quickly, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect.
