Question
The baby’s stool frequency has recently decreased from 3 to 5 times a day to once every two days, and it is now deep yellow or dark green, resembling jam. The baby has been on a combination feeding method. What could be the reason for this change?
Answer
Hello. Based on your description, if the baby has stool that resembles jam, clinically, one should be attentive to the possibility of intussusception and certain intestinal diseases that are more common in children. It is recommended to observe if the baby has abdominal pain or discomfort to rule out the possibility of intussusception. At the same time, consider giving the baby probiotics to maintain intestinal health. Wishing your little one a healthy growth!
