Question
After the two-month-old baby took medicine for stomachache, now the baby has sticky and yellow stool twice a day, occasionally loose. The baby’s appetite seems less than before, and the milk intake has decreased. Is this normal? Should I be worried?
Answer
Your baby’s condition may be caused by indigestion, which is usually due to irregular diet, overeating, and other reasons. Since the baby’s digestive system is still developing, catching a cold or overeating can lead to indigestion. Therefore, you don’t need to worry too much. It is recommended that you pay attention to your baby’s warmth, avoid catching a cold, and adjust your baby’s diet appropriately while maintaining regular breastfeeding. If the stool is loose and has an acidic smell, you can give your baby intestinal probiotics and pediatric stomach-soothing and digestion-promoting tablets, and encourage them to drink more warm water. I hope my answer can be of some help to you.
