Patient's question:
When the baby was 28 days old, he was hospitalized for jaundice treatment for 6 days and discharged. During the hospital stay, breastfeeding was stopped, and the hospital provided formula (Dumex). After discharge, the baby was mixed-fed with formula and breast milk, but he had diarrhea continuously. I stopped breastfeeding again, and it has been two days, but his stools still haven't formed.Previous Treatment and Effects:
The hospital conducted a stool test and said it was due to fat digestion. Probiotics were prescribed.
Kind of Help Needed:
The number of bowel movements has decreased compared to the previous two days, but the stools are still not formed. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you add some probiotics or other preparations to regulate the intestinal flora, which can help improve the consistency of your baby's stool. Advice: If your baby has poor bowel movements, it is suggested that you temporarily stop breastfeeding and switch to a formula that is less likely to cause nausea and vomiting, which is more beneficial for your baby's digestion. Once the stool consistency improves, you can then switch back to breastfeeding or other formula milk. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 38-day-old baby has severe diarrhea?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
