A one-month-old baby has bloating and gas, crying and restless

Patient's question:

Born about ten days after birth, fully breastfed. Before that, formula feeding was fine, but after breastfeeding, the stomach often swells with gas, passing gas, crying restless, and white granular substances are found in the stool. Is it lactose intolerance or indigestion? Hospital check-up revealed mild rickets.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on the situation you described, the baby seems to have some digestive issues. The white granular substance is undigested milk components. It is recommended to give the baby some probiotics to regulate digestion! Lactose intolerance mainly manifests as prolonged diarrhea, not just bloating and gas! The baby's mild rickets are caused by insufficient calcium absorption due to poor digestion!
Suggestions: Probiotics can be used, such as Mimi Ai (Mommy's Love) and Jinduangui (Golden Bifid)! The baby currently needs to supplement calcium and vitamin D. Calcium supplements can be taken as calcium carbonate, which is the most easily absorbed, such as Gaidixin (Calcium Carbonate) and Nanoka! Cod liver oil can be used as Ikosan (Ikosan), or you can use one dose of Chenviding (Cholecalciferol Emulsion). You can start using Ikosan after one month!
Wishing the baby healthy growth!
