Patient's question:
Ask the doctor: My baby is 63 days old and formula-fed. Recently, he had an average of one bowel movement every two days. Today, he suddenly had four bowel movements. The first two were normal, but the last two were a bit loose with less volume and seemed to have curdled milk. His spirits are normal, and there is no unusual crying. We have been taking probiotics every day for over 20 days, except for the fire-clearing formula. I don’t know what caused the abnormal bowel movements. Could you advise on the best way to care for him?Doctor's answer:
A 63-day-old baby's bowel movements suddenly became looser, possibly due to indigestion. Probiotics can be taken orally frequently, but it is not recommended to take them for such a long duration each time. Generally, it is sufficient to take them for 7-10 days. Pay close attention to the baby's bowel movement situation. As long as the baby is feeding well and not crying, there should not be a major issue. You can give the baby a bit more water and do not need to take special measures. If you are still worried, you can take some Xingspi Yang'er Granules for a short period of time to regulate the condition. Be careful to prevent the abdomen from getting cold.
