Question

How should one handle a newborn over ten days old who is experiencing digestive disorders?

Answer

For a newborn over ten days old with digestive disorders, it is first important to consider the potential issues caused by the formula. The high lactose content in formula can lead to digestive discomfort. Therefore, it is recommended to temporarily discontinue the current formula or choose one with less lactose. Additionally, continue to monitor the baby’s condition and cooperate with appropriate symptomatic treatment. Moreover, maintain the baby’s warmth, especially avoiding the umbilical area from getting cold, to prevent the occurrence of diarrhea.
