Question
My sister is 27 years old and recently gave birth. I went to her house to help take care of the baby. What could be the reason for a two-month-old baby’s sticky and stringy stool?
Answer
This sticky stool situation could be due to abnormal digestion of the spleen and stomach, related to poor food digestion, overfeeding, or low gastrointestinal absorption ability in the baby. You can give him probiotics, increase the frequency of changing diapers appropriately, and pay attention to personal hygiene during feeding. It’s good to drink plenty of water. During breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to her diet and avoid eating too much greasy or cold food.
