A three-day-old baby has yellow, grainy poop!

Patient's question:

A three-day-old baby has yellow, grainy poop, and my older babies have never had this before! What's going on? I'm waiting online!

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, although the stool of a small baby may be yellow, the presence of granules often indicates poor intestinal function and inadequate absorption. Therefore, for this situation, you should also observe the frequency of the baby's bowel movements, whether the baby is consuming enough milk, and if there are any other recurring discomfort symptoms. If none of these issues are present, there is no need to worry. If breastfeeding, the mother should first adjust her diet to be lighter.
