Question
A four-month-old baby has an increased number of bowel movements after vaccination, with loose stools and milk residue, occasionally accompanied by mucus, and the stool has a slightly stronger sour taste. Ask for the cause and treatment method.
Answer
The sour taste and milk residue in the baby’s stool may be a sign of indigestion. At this point, you can consider giving the baby probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora and promote digestion. If breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to a light diet, including more vegetables and fruits. If the problem persists or worsens, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for examination to rule out other potential issues and follow the doctor’s treatment guidance.
