Question
Is it normal for a five-month-old baby who is being fed with a mix of breast milk and formula to have more frequent bowel movements?
Answer
At the age of five months, due to rapid physical development, a baby may experience dyspepsia. It is advisable to avoid overly greasy foods and consider using medications like Baohe Wan to regulate the digestive system. Additionally, you can use roasted radish seeds (with shells removed) to decoct a remedy, which can also help improve digestion. For calcium supplementation, you can feed fish liver oil or Betacal, and appropriately expose the baby to sunlight to promote calcium absorption. You can also add high-calcium foods, such as egg yolk paste, to increase daily dietary calcium intake. Calcium supplementation is a process that requires long-term persistence, and it is hoped that the baby will grow up healthily.
