Question
My newborn is five days old and has symptoms such as diarrhea, easily startled sleep, a strong appetite but with hiccups and vomiting milk. What could be the possible causes and solutions?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby might be experiencing vomiting due to an imbalance in gut microbiota, and the easily startled sleep could be caused by a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to buy active probiotics to regulate the gut and supplement with milk calcium or chelated calcium to improve the calcium deficiency issue. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
