Question
Since 5 and a half months, the baby has had loose stools and frequent bowel movements, occurring 6 to 7 times a day. Medical assistance has been sought, and medication has been taken for a month, but the symptoms have been intermittent, with slight improvement after changing environments, but they soon recur. The medication makes the baby reluctant to eat, and recently, the color of the stool has turned green, which turned to yellow after treatment, but it remains loose, especially in the morning with 4 bowel movements, and there is a rumbling sound in the stomach. Asking why the symptoms have not improved.
Answer
When breastfeeding, attention should be paid to hygiene, keeping the nipples clean, and ensuring hands are clean after the baby’s bowel movements or urination. Since the baby’s stool may be affected by the mother’s milk, the mother should also pay attention to a balanced diet, consume food appropriately, reduce the intake of fried foods, maintain regular eating habits, avoid cold drinks. The baby can be given Montmorillonite powder, one packet per time, three times a day, before breastfeeding; as well as Bifidobacterium Triple Live Yeast Powder, two times a day, one packet each time, taken half an hour after breastfeeding with warm water.
