Question
My baby is two months old and has had a poor gastrointestinal condition. After taking lactobacillus tablets for four days, the baby is now passing granular stool with the water forming a frothy consistency. I want to know the cause.
Answer
Since the baby is still young, eating certain things can be harmful to their gastrointestinal system. It’s not good for them to consume this. It’s normal for breastfed babies to have seven or eight bowel movements a day; your baby is no different. It wasn’t until the baby was seven and a half months old that bowel movements became regular. If the mother eats cold foods, it may lead to diarrhea in the baby. Therefore, mothers should be cautious about hot and cold foods. She can try examining the baby’s stool. If there is no intestinal infection, the white granules should be due to dyspepsia.
