Question
My baby is 31 days old and cries at night, refusing to take a nap. When I offer breast milk, the baby seems to fall asleep, but wakes up when placed in the crib. The stool is golden yellow with striations and granules. Is this normal?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby has poor sleep and is restless. The color of the stool is normal. The presence of granules and mucous strands suggests poor digestion. Have you felt any bloating in the belly? It might be discomfort in the stomach causing this. You can take oral probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora and aid absorption. Massaging the belly clockwise can also be beneficial for absorption. This is a suggestion for the question ‘Is it normal for my 31-day-old baby’s stool to be golden yellow, striated, and contain granules?’ I hope it helps and wish you health!
