Question
A 38-day-old baby has golden yellow stool with milk residue, and there are two bowel movements each time the diaper is changed, even when passing gas. Is this due to dyspepsia or breastmilk-induced vomiting? The baby has been taking probiotics for a week, but the situation seems to have not improved.
Answer
Based on the information you provided about your baby, it is currently not possible to determine the exact cause. If there are frequent vomiting episodes that affect the baby’s growth and development, then it should be a matter of concern; however, if growth and development are normal and daily milk intake is regular, it may be functional vomiting and may not require medication treatment.
