Question
After expressing milk for my baby, the baby has developed stomach pain and dry stool. What was the previous treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of help is needed to resolve this issue?
Answer
For babies who consume milk, it’s important to provide them with lubricating supplements such as vegetable juice, fresh fruit juice, and tomato juice. Typically, these juices can be homemade, which is convenient and hygienic. Don’t make too much at once; prepare a small amount each time so the baby can have many servings throughout the day. Once the baby is over four months old, they can start having mashed vegetables or fruits. Additionally, ensure that the baby has a certain amount of water intake daily; don’t skip giving them plain water just because milk contains water.
