Patient's question:
A baby breastfed for 71 days has three to four bowel movements a day, which are green and contain curds. Is this normal? No, what is the reason, what problem, and how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child has a bowel movement three to four times a day, with green color except for curdled milk, which is considered to be caused by indigestion. Infants and young children are in the stage of growth and development, with delicate bodies and immature digestive systems, often experiencing symptoms such as poor appetite, indigestion, food accumulation, and abdominal pain. It is recommended to give the baby oral probiotics like Bifidus and pediatric probiotics, which have a good effect. In addition to massaging the area around the navel in a clockwise direction, it can also help with intestinal peristalsis and improve absorption. When feeding the child milk, it is advisable to use small amounts and feed more frequently.
