Question

My child just gave birth and I don’t know what’s going on, there are always red spots on his body, and he also spits up. Is it normal for a newborn’s stool to have a sour and smelly odor?

Answer

The baby has dyspepsia. Give the baby some pediatricJianpi San, half a packet each time. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to her diet and avoid eating difficult-to-digest foods such as potatoes and leeks, as the baby’s gastrointestinal function is weak, and it may take at least two to three days to recover. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
