Patient's question:
A six-month-old baby switched to a different brand of formula after drinking the second stage, and now they are having green bowel movements. They have stopped drinking the second stage and are back to drinking the original first stage formula, but they are still having green bowel movements. No new solid foods or vegetables have been introduced. The bowel movements yesterday and today are green like meconium. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,According to the information you uploaded, it is inferred that the baby may have indigestion, likely caused by a cold. For now, avoid adding complementary foods and continue with formula milk for a period. Once the gastrointestinal tract is adjusted, you can gradually reintroduce complementary foods. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and consider pediatric acupuncture, which has proven to be very effective. You may also take probiotics orally.
Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
Best wishes~
