Question
The child first had green, runny stools, followed by watery stools. What’s going on?
Answer
Green, runny stools in babies may be a sign of indigestion, and watery stools that follow might indicate mild diarrhea. This could be due to improper feeding or an unbalanced diet. It’s suggested to try giving the baby some digestive aids, such as Mommy Love, and observe if there is any improvement. If the situation does not improve or is accompanied by other symptoms, it’s important to take the baby to see a doctor promptly. Additionally, parents should pay attention to the baby’s daily diet, ensuring there is enough breast milk or appropriate formula milk, and avoid feeding rice porridge or paste-like foods too early and too often to prevent excessive carbohydrates that could lead to digestive problems.
