Question
What should I do if a newborn poops soon after eating and feels hungry quite quickly?
Answer
Your situation might be caused by excessive stomach fire, also known as “stomach heat” in traditional Chinese medicine. This refers to an imbalance in the internal organs and blood Qi, which is not a severe condition. In traditional Chinese medicine, the concept of “fire” is used to describe certain hot symptoms, and it is suggested to treat with Qingwei San. Since this is likely due to dyspepsia, it’s recommended to increase nutritional supplementation with vitamins and trace elements, provide nutritional support, maintain a relaxed mood, get adequate rest, and use medications like Wensui Yang’er Granules and Xiao’er Qizhen Dan for opsonize.
