Question
My baby is 80 days old and has stools with a watery consistency during bowel movements, and occasionally has loose stools. Could this be caused by catching a cold? Since I gave birth, I have been breastfeeding my baby, and this situation started recently. The baby doesn’t have any other discomforts, only a lot of eye boogers and occasionally watery eyes.
Answer
Based on your description, it is suspected that your baby may be experiencing dyspepsia. In cases of severe vomiting, you can give your baby Montmorillonite powder orally for treatment. At the same time, it is recommended to give your baby some probiotics, such as Lactobacillus, Bacillus subtilis, and Bifidobacterium, and choose one to administer to the baby. If the symptoms do not improve after a period of time, it is advisable to bring the baby to a local regular hospital’s pediatric department for a detailed examination.
