Question
My daughter is a premature baby who was hospitalized for six days after birth and then stayed for another three days after a follow-up check for jaundice. Now, she has stool that looks like egg porridge at night. Is this a sign of indigestion or normal?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, if your daughter is being fed with formula milk or a combination of formula and breast milk, her slightly harder stool is normal; if she’s breastfed, her stool should be more like a paste. I hope these suggestions are helpful, and wish your little one a healthy growth!
