Question
My baby is 4 months old, and for the past two weeks, we’ve switched to formula milk, but the baby has developed diarrhea with very loose stools and a deep green color. The baby has a bowel movement every two or three days. Even after taking probiotics for a week, there has been no improvement. What should we do?
Answer
Dear friend, based on your description, your baby is suffering from digestive issues and the probiotics have not improved the situation after a week. Generally speaking, the effects of oral probiotics can be seen within a week. If there’s no improvement, there may be other factors at play. It is advisable to consult a regular hospital for a re-examination to clarify the cause of the problem. The above suggestions are for the question ‘My baby is 4 months old and has recently experienced diarrhea with very loose stools and a deep green color.’ I hope this helps you, and wish you and your baby good health!
