Patient's question:
The baby has been having green stools since birth and drinking glucose. At three months, the check-up showed that both height and weight were insufficient. The diagnosis was rotavirus enteritis. After stopping glucose and taking Mamei, there was some improvement. Now at four months, the height and weight are still far from adequate. The baby was born weighing seven and a half pounds (about 3.4 kg) and now weighs less than twelve pounds (about 5.5 kg). What should be done? Should the baby drink formula? Is breastfeeding possible?Doctor's answer:
The green stool in babies is related to individual constitution, age, intestinal pH, the growth status of intestinal bacteria, and the composition of dairy products (such as iron). As long as the baby is in a good mood and active, there is no need to worry.
