How to treat a 15-day premature infant whose bowel movements are like egg custard?

Patient's question:

My daughter was born fifteen days premature and stayed in an incubator for six days. After discharge, she was readmitted for three days due to jaundice. Now, three days later, her bowel movements at night are like egg custard. Is it indigestion or normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on the symptoms you mentioned, slightly harder stools are normal for formula-fed babies or mixed-fed babies. For breastfed babies, the stools should be more like a paste. This is the advice for the question "My daughter is a 15-day premature baby who stayed in an incubator for 6 days and was discharged 3 days ago." I hope it helps you. Wishing your baby healthy growth!
