How to deal with long-term digestive problems in an eight-month-old baby

Patient's question:

The baby is eight months old, exclusively breastfed, and has been experiencing chronic digestive issues. The stool is smelly and contains curds, and the baby is always getting sick and not doing well physically. I've heard that digestive problems might be due to an allergy to the protein in the formula. Should I have the baby tested for allergens?

Doctor's answer:

The curd, the taste is also quite foul, this is a manifestation of indigestion, which may be caused by overconsumption of milk. Because eating too much increases the pressure on the digestive system, it can easily lead to indigestion and the recurrence of curd. Avoiding these contributing factors, do not allow the child to overeat, and you can also use appropriate digestive aids, such as Compound Chicken Gizzard Powder for Children. Probiotics can also be used appropriately. Breastfeeding can also be supplemented with appropriate complementary foods to coordinate with abdominal massage.
