What should a 34-day-old baby who is exclusively breastfed and has foamy stools eat?

Patient's question:

Baby is 34 days old, exclusively breastfed. Haven't had a bowel movement all night, but started urinating foam-like in the afternoon today. What's going on? Should I just leave it or is there anything I need to eat?

Doctor's answer:

As long as the baby is in good spirits! It is recommended to wait and see for a few more days. When feeding the baby, pay attention to hygiene and keep the nipple clean at all times. After changing the baby's diaper, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly. Since the baby's stool is affected by the mother's milk, the mother should also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, and avoid fried and junk foods. Maintain a regular eating schedule and drink less cold beverages. If necessary, you can take one pack of triple live bacteria powder twice a day, 30 minutes after feeding, with warm water.
