Question
How many times a day is it normal for a newborn to defecate while drinking formula?
Answer
Your baby may be experiencing dyspepsia, and it is advised to avoid consuming fatty foods. You can consider taking Bahe Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) to improve the condition, or boiling and serving roasted pumpkin seeds after removing their shells. This usually effectively alleviates symptoms. If your baby is lactose intolerant, it may be necessary to stop drinking formula. It is recommended to switch to yogurt to aid digestion and to supplement with iron, zinc, calcium, and amino acid oral liquid. This helps to replenish the body’s trace elements, strengthen the immune system, and prevent colds.
