Question
My son is 33 days old and has been breastfed all along. During the postpartum period, I would feed him whenever he cried, without a regular schedule. Now he has indigestion, with more frequent bowel movements and watery stools with bubbles. How should I treat this, experts?
Answer
Newborns’ digestive systems are not fully developed, and even slight dietary negligence can lead to indigestion. When this situation arises, parents need to adjust their child’s diet to make it more reasonable. Parents can give the baby some foods like yogurt, apples, and hawthorn that can help with indigestion. Once the baby shows signs of indigestion, it is important to take proactive measures for adjustment and treatment.
