Patient's question:
My little baby has had very smelly poop since birth, and now that she's three years old, her poop is still very smelly. Her stomach is always bloated, and it gets even more bloated after eating. Is this a problem? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
This is usually caused by the baby's poor digestion of protein. When introducing complementary foods, it is essential to proceed gradually, starting with small amounts and increasing them as the baby's digestive system adapts. Mothers can give the baby some Mamiaotai, provide more fluids, or perform abdominal massage to promote digestion. The normal bowel movements of a baby vary depending on the feeding method and frequency. Generally, normal bowel movements should be considered separately for breastfed and formula-fed babies.
