Question
The 6-month-old baby often has diarrhea after drinking milk, with greenish and loose stools. The parents are inquiring about treatment options. They have previously taken the baby for a consultation, but there has been no improvement, and they hope to receive advice on medication treatment.
Answer
Due to differences in age, diet, and bowel habits, the frequency and consistency of stools in breastfed babies who have not introduced complementary foods can vary. The condition of a baby’s stool often reflects their gastrointestinal physiological and pathological status. For breastfed babies who have not introduced complementary foods, if the stool is yellow or golden yellow, with uniform consistency, sometimes greenish and loose, showing an acidic reaction with a sour taste but no odor, it may indicate a health issue.
