How should newborns who have a bowel movement after eating be treated at 31 days?

Patient's question:

Newborn baby has a bowel movement after finishing eating, and also spits up milk, not much. The last bowel movement was green. Just finished drinking 170ml of milk and still wants more. If not given, they cry non-stop. Finally, giving them plain water stops the crying. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. This situation may be due to the child, um, frequently having diarrhea and vomiting, which has led to dehydration. As a result, the child may become thirsty. If the child has a very high frequency of bowel movements daily and produces little urine, appears lethargic, and has dry skin and mucous membranes, this indicates dehydration. I recommend you go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. If it's not as severe as I described, you can take some oral absorption medications, such as Lactic Acid Bacteria Granules and Pepsin Granules. If the stool is particularly loose, I suggest taking Montmorillonite Powder. If the condition still doesn't improve, I recommend going to the hospital for a follow-up visit.
