Question
My baby is two months old and sleeps very little during the day. They also don’t sleep well during the late night hours, starting to twist their bodies and cry around 3 a.m., about every two to three minutes. Although we have checked for trace elements, the results show no deficiencies. However, since two days ago, their stool has become dark green, sometimes with a little yellow, and they have a bowel movement every two days. They are currently on mixed feeding. I want to know what’s going on with this situation?
Answer
Babies grow quickly, and even if the trace element test does not show any deficiencies, it can be determined that this condition is caused by a lack of calcium. It is recommended that mothers give their child Vitamin AD to help digest calcium. With the weather warming up, you can let your baby bask in the sun at noon to help replenish calcium. The baby’s green stool may be due to abdominal coldness. It is recommended to give the baby probiotics for a period of time to help establish a good intestinal environment, so that the baby is less likely to feel nausea, vomiting, or discomfort in the stomach.
