Patient's question:
Two-and-a-half-month-old baby. Breastfeeding. Recently, the baby has been having green bowel movements every day, with streaks of blood. The doctor at the hospital prescribed medication to regulate the digestive system. After taking probiotics for a few days, the baby no longer has blood in the stool, but still has green bowel movements daily. I have already controlled my diet and have been eating only vegetables recently, but the baby is still having green bowel movements.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Your situation is mainly considered to be caused by catching a cold, leading to digestive discomfort. It is recommended that you keep your baby warm and drink some warm water appropriately. You can also take probiotics and Lactobacillus to regulate the intestines and stomach. You should also balance your diet with both meat and vegetables. It is not advisable to only eat a vegetarian diet, as this may lead to your baby's nutrition not keeping up. Generally, a completely vegetarian diet is not suitable for this condition either, as it may also result in an unbalanced nutritional composition of breast milk. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to this. During this period, a light diet is sufficient. Additionally, green stools may be related to digestive issues. If necessary, changing the medication may be a good option.
