Question
Doctor, my baby is four months old and has recently been having more frequent bowel movements with green, loose stools. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s green, loose stools may be due to indigestion. It’s recommended to pay attention to your baby’s diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, keep the baby’s abdomen warm, and consider giving symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to adjust the gut flora. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to take your baby for a follow-up visit promptly.
