Patient's question:
The child is just 15 days old and has been having about ten bowel movements a day. The stool is like tofu pudding, and they also pass gas frequently. They are eating and drinking well and are in good spirits. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your baby's condition is considered to be due to indigestion, which has led to an increase in bowel movements and frequent flatulence. Newborn indigestion is often caused by overfeeding and the immature digestive system of infants. Symptoms include frequent bowel movements, abdominal pain, and excessive flatulence.Recommendations: It is recommended that you give your baby oral lactobacillus tablets. During this period, pay attention to keeping your baby warm, breastfeed on schedule, and feed in moderation. Practice small, frequent meals to prevent your baby from catching a cold or overfeeding at once.
