Answers

  1. The current situation may indicate that the baby has dyspepsia. It is recommended to check the regularity of the stool, confirm if there is a bacterial infection, and possibly require antibiotic treatment. Reduce the amount and frequency of breastfeeding, use umbilical cord plasters, and administer medications such as Mammy Love for opsonize.
  2. Consider using Simethicone and replenishing electrolytes to maintain electrolyte balance. During treatment, it is suggested to feed regularly, adopt a small and frequent feeding method, and often perform abdominal massage to improve digestion and gastrointestinal function.
