Question
My baby is now three months old, and her stools have not been good since birth. After taking probiotics, it improved a bit, but recently her stool frequency has increased significantly, almost while eating, and the stool is especially watery. Is this situation normal? Would a baby like mine experience stomach pain in this condition?
Answer
According to your description, your baby’s condition may be due to an underdeveloped gastrointestinal system. Pay attention to feeding her easily digestible foods and avoid eating hard-to-digest foods. If it’s caused by formula milk, consider changing the brand. If she is breastfed, the mother should also pay attention to her diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. If the baby experiences abdominal pain and cries, she can be given some probiotic-containing foods.
