Doctor's answer:

Newborns with rare bowel movements containing milk curds are a sign of indigestion. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should reduce her intake of greasy, high-fat foods. The mother should drink more water. If the baby is formula-fed, it is recommended to switch to a different formula. Additionally, encourage the baby to move their hands and feet while lying down to increase their activity level. Gently massaging the baby's small abdomen can also aid in digestion. Feeding should be on a regular schedule, avoiding irregular and sporadic feeding. This ensures the baby's stomach gets proper rest and prevents indigestion. If the situation does not improve, consider giving the baby a children's probiotic powder containing Bifidobacterium triple live. This is a health supplement and will not affect the baby's health. Alternatively, you can take the baby to the hospital for a stool test. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
