What should I do if my baby, who is 20 days old, passes gas every time and it contains some stool?

Patient's question:

The baby is 20 days old and every time they cry, they bring along a lot of stool, and besides the foam, they can have several bowel movements a day. What kind of assistance do you need: Is the baby's condition normal? If it's not, how should it be resolved?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, since the child is in the normal transformation stage, they are still unable to control their bowel and bladder well, so it is normal for the child to have a lot of feces in their lies and for there to be foam. The diet of the nursing mother should be based on being nutritious, light, and easy to digest. Avoid eating extremely cold foods like oranges, tangerines, and lemons, and do not eat excessively greasy foods. Try not to wrap the baby's bottom too tightly. When cleaning the buttocks, it is best to use water. If using a cloth, do not rub, but gently press, and make sure to be very gentle to avoid damaging the child's delicate skin. Wishing the baby good health!
