What are the reasons for two-month-old baby's sticky and stringy stools?

Patient's question:

My sister is 27 years old and recently gave birth to a baby. I came to her house to help her take care of the child. I haven't had children before, so I don't have much experience. Could you please tell me: what could be the reason for the baby's sticky and stringy stools after two months?

Doctor's answer:

This sticky bowel movement condition may be caused by abnormal spleen and stomach transportation, related to the baby's poor food digestion, overfeeding, or poor gastrointestinal absorption ability. You can give him probiotics, increase diaper changes appropriately, and pay attention to personal hygiene during feeding. It's a good idea to drink more water appropriately. During breastfeeding, mothers should pay attention to their diet and avoid overly greasy or cold foods.
