Patient's question:
Medical history and treatment outcomes: The baby has been in a state of diarrhea since birth, having only been breastfed. A few days ago, formula was added, and then the baby stopped having bowel movements. However, it seems that this is not normal either! The baby hasn't had a bowel movement for two or three days.Doctor's answer:
Your baby has physiological diarrhea, which is often caused by the baby's poor digestion and absorption of breast milk. It generally does not interfere with the baby's growth and development, and the symptoms usually improve as solid foods are gradually introduced. Your baby's bowel movements improved after switching to formula. Your baby also has constipation, which is often due to insufficient fluid intake, delayed bowel movements, slower intestinal motility, and a diet that is too greasy. Therefore, you don't need to worry too much.It is recommended to gradually introduce easily digestible solid foods while maintaining a balanced and diverse diet, such as liver puree, vegetable porridge, meat porridge, rice powder, egg yolk, fish, etc. Eat small meals frequently to avoid indigestion. You can gently massage your baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal motility. Drink plenty of warm water, encourage outdoor activities, and get more sun exposure to enhance calcium absorption. Properly digest calcium and vitamins. I hope my explanation helps you!
