Question
My baby is almost four months old and has started passing yellow egg-like stool. After taking probiotics and Symphit, the baby’s condition improved, but regurgitation occurred when breastfed. It has been a week since the baby started regurgitating after breastfeeding. Now, the baby is on vomited formula and has one bowel movement a day, which is green and hard stool, but it regurgitates again after breastfeeding. What should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby regurgitates after breastfeeding, which may be related to breast milk. It is recommended that the mother drink more water before breastfeeding, avoid eating overly greasy foods, and do not consume cold, spicy, or irritating foods, including fruits and vegetables that should not be eaten raw. Also, focus on giving the baby probiotics for a few days. Furthermore, it is advisable to extend the intervals between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal system to rest and to provide more water. These are the suggestions for this issue; I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you health!
