Is it normal for a three-month-old baby to have smelly stools and gas, white, and dislike drinking water?

Patient's question:

The baby has been reluctant to urinate since it was one month old. Every time, they need to use a warm towel to warm their buttocks to urinate. Recently, even warming it doesn't work anymore. They haven't urinated for five days. What should I do? They fart very smelly, have a white tongue, and don't like to drink water.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby is in a good spirits, has a normal appetite, does not have a high fever, and does not show obvious signs of dehydration such as poor skin elasticity, little tears when crying, or decreased urine output, it is likely that the baby is experiencing some digestive discomfort. The main advice is to take good care of the baby as soon as possible: give the baby some warm water to drink, focus on normal feeding, adjust the baby's clothing according to the weather, pay special attention to keeping the abdomen warm to prevent a cold stomach, let the baby rest well, and if necessary, take lactase or probiotics under the guidance of a doctor for a few days. Montmorillonite can also be added. Note that Montmorillonite should be taken on an empty stomach, with double the first dose.
