Patient's question:
The baby is 80 days old. For the past ten days, it has been having green bowel movements. We gave it Mimi Ai and Montmorillonite powder, along with three other powders. It felt a bit better after taking them, but its bowel movements turned green again when it didn't. The doctor said it's indigestion—is that right? Besides the last five or six nights when the baby has been crying constantly, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., it has been exclusively breastfed. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The baby's green stool is due to indigestion, and the medication you have taken is appropriate. However, Montmorillonite powder is not needed unless the baby experiences nausea or vomiting. You can give the baby Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium breve, Symptomatic Relief, and Bifidumbacterium longum to adjust the intestinal flora. The baby has been crying at night, which should be due to a lack of vitamin D, making it easier to cause increased nervous excitability and crying.Advice: Focus on administering medications to regulate the gastrointestinal tract while also giving the baby vitamin D and calcium supplements.
