Question
At 20 days old, the baby poops every two hours on average. Sometimes the stool is loose, sometimes it contains bits of solid matter, and sometimes it’s greenish. After taking probiotics, what should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, it’s initially considered that it might be related to indigestion, intestinal dysfunction, or enteritis. Since the baby’s digestive system is not fully developed and improved, it is susceptible to external environments, diet, viruses, and bacteria. It is recommended to pay close attention to the baby’s body temperature, mental state, and changes in stool. Pay attention to digestion and fluid intake to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. After further detailed examination at the hospital, targeted treatment should be administered.
