Patient's question:
Our baby has only been born for more than ten days. Due to the lack of milk, we can only let the baby drink goat milk. However, after only two days, we noticed that he has been having yellow lumps in his stool, and his little face is flushed red. It's truly heart-wrenching to see. I would like to ask, what should we do if a ten-day-old baby is constipated and cannot pass stool?Doctor's answer:
Hello. This situation is likely caused by poor intestinal function in the baby. Since the intestinal function of young infants is still underdeveloped and the normal intestinal flora has not been fully established, it is common to experience poor digestion and absorption, leading to such large bowel movements. It is recommended to take probiotics such as probiotics or Saccharomyces boulardii to regulate the intestinal flora, which can help improve the baby's digestive function.
