Question

A 10-day-old baby has been experiencing abnormal bowel movements since yesterday, with a painful expression on the face during nap times and occasional moaning. Is this situation normal? Are the bowel movements normal? The baby’s body temperature is 37.3 degrees.

Answer

The baby’s baseline body temperature is slightly elevated, and the contents of the stool cannot be clearly judged from the photo, but it appears to contain some milk residue. Parents can give the child some probiotics or a probiotic supplement to adjust the intestinal flora. It is recommended to choose one type each.
