Question
Our four-month-old baby has had foamy stools for the past few days, sometimes accompanied by fat globules. They have bowel movements about four times a day, with more and slightly green stools in the morning upon waking up, and the other times are more runny and foamy. Even when urinating, passing gas brings out stool. What could be the cause? Is it indigestion? Are there any medications or remedies that can improve this situation?
Answer
Considering the child’s indigestion, it is recommended to take commonly available gastrointestinal health supplements or probiotics and observe if the situation improves. Additionally, if the baby is breastfed, the mother should also pay attention to her diet, avoiding cold or greasy foods. Continue to monitor and adjust the diet to improve the baby’s digestive condition.
