Patient's question:
My baby is 3 months old. I am a new mom, and there are still many things I am figuring out. Could you please tell me: What are the characteristics of hunger-induced bowel movements in babies?Doctor's answer:
Hunger-induced nausea and vomiting refer to nausea and vomiting caused by insufficient caloric intake from the baby's food, leading to abnormal intestinal peristalsis again. At the initial onset, the baby may have 4-6 bowel movements per day, and the stool is watery, appearing yellowish-green or simply yellow and green, usually mixed with a small amount of curdled milk and mucus. Green, watery, and increasing bowel movements, with the baby in good spirits, indicate intestinal peristalsis tension, which belongs to hunger-induced nausea and vomiting. In this case, the milk intake should be increased.
