Question
The baby started changing to a different milk formula after about fifteen days of birth, and days later began to pass green stools. Now the baby is three months old and still has this issue, passing stool every two days, sometimes green, sometimes slightly black, and rarely with a hint of yellow. The baby has always had poor quality deep sleep. My baby is fed exclusively with formula milk; is this situation normal? We have treated it before, but the condition has not improved; we hope to get some help.
Answer
At three months old, the baby’s stool is somewhat green and has an odor, which may be a sign of indigestion. It is recommended to have a light diet, eat small meals more frequently, and try to consume easily digestible foods. You can give the child Shen Ling Bai Zhu San for treatment and pair it with probiotics. Additionally, perform clockwise abdominal massage frequently to promote digestion. Please closely observe the baby’s condition.
