Question
Why is my baby’s stool foamy?
Answer
Foamy stool in babies can be due to reasons such as catching a cold, breastmilk diarrhea, viral infection, enteritis, or imbalanced gut flora. To prevent and treat these issues, parents should pay attention to proper feeding, maintain the cleanliness of the baby’s breastfeeding environment, and avoid the baby from catching a cold. You can give your baby Simethicone and use pediatric nappy rash cream for symptomatic treatment. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to take your baby to the hospital for a regular stool examination in a timely manner to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
