Patient's question:
My baby is five months old. He has been drinking formula milk. Recently, I noticed that his urine is very yellow. Is this a problem? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, your baby has been drinking formula milk and has too much internal heat. The yellow urine indicates that there is heat toxin in the baby's body that hasn't been expelled. You should encourage your baby to drink more water, as well as dilute sugar water or physiological saline. Also, give her some fruit and vegetable juices to drink, which will help increase urination and expel toxins through the urine. The urine color will become lighter once the toxins are removed. Otherwise, it may cause the baby to be restless and distressed, leading to poor sleep and affecting normal growth and development. Breastfeeding does not have this issue. If you are still concerned, you can take your baby to get checked.
