Answer
At 76 days old, the child has four to five bowel movements a day, and the stool is a bit green, which may be indicative of dyspepsia. Infants are in the stage of growth and development, with delicate bodies and underdeveloped gastrointestinal functions, which often lead to symptoms such as anorexia, dyspepsia, food retention, and abdominal pain. Guidance: Treatment recommendations include giving the baby a lot of digestive enzymes, such as Lactase, Bifidus, and Mommy Love. These small medicines are very easy to drink and are sweet; babies will not be reluctant to take them. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid eating spicy, greasy, extremely cold, or irritating foods. If formula-fed, pay attention to diluting the formula slightly and ensuring the baby drinks plenty of water.
