Question
A four-month-old baby, fed on formula milk, is passing greyish-white, loose stools. I’m worried that overfeeding might be causing digestive issues.
Answer
A four-month-old baby might have drier and lighter-colored stool when fed on formula milk. If the baby shows no other discomforts, such as dry heaves or crying, there’s usually no need for special treatment. It’s recommended to give the baby more water and administer a gastrointestinal and digestion-improving oral liquid, as well as a stomach and spleen-nourishing granule, which should help improve the situation.
