Question
Breastfed infants without complementary feeding have stools that are yellow or golden yellow, with a uniform consistency like ointment, occasionally thin and slightly green, showing an acidic reaction with a sour taste but no odor. They defecate 2-4 times a day. When it comes to treatment, there are generally no abnormal symptoms, so there is no need to be treated. As for diet, they can eat high-fiber foods like chives and soy milk. How do we determine if a newborn’s stool is normal?
