Question

My baby has frequent bowel movements, the stool appears curdled, with froth, and sometimes quite loose. What could be the cause of this? How should it be handled?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, your baby may be experiencing dyspepsia. It is suggested that you observe your baby’s dietary habits. If they are not eating enough, you may consider increasing the milk quantity or adjusting the brand of formula. For the current symptoms, you can try giving Simethicone and Mamylove, among other medications, to help improve gastrointestinal function. Additionally, you can use Dinggui’er navel sticker to alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, such as fever or dehydration, it is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying treatment.
