Newborn has loose stools with small granules in them.

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Newborn
The baby has loose stools with small, grainy particles, and the smell is like that of duck eggs. The baby is 15 days old today. Due to insufficient breast milk, the baby has been drinking Abbott Similac. The baby has some eye discharge, but not much—just a couple of drops. There is white milk residue on the tongue. What could be the reason? Is the baby not suitable for drinking?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, diarrhea in babies is usually caused by improper feeding, allergies, specific constitutions, and climatic reasons, among other factors.
Advice: Based on the symptoms you described, it is recommended to use a dietary approach to treat your baby's diarrhea: cook some carrot soup to drink (the mother can also drink it instead and then breastfeed the baby again). Carrots contain pectin, which can promote the formation of stool, absorb bacterial toxins on the intestinal mucosa, and are a good food for stopping diarrhea. It can effectively treat your baby's condition. Wishing your baby a healthy growth.
