Question
Is it healthy for a newborn baby over forty days old to have a stool every few days?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may be experiencing symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness, including bloating, stomachache, hiccups, decreased appetite, and abdominal distension after meals. It is recommended to use Xiangsha Liujun Wan for opsonize and to pay attention to a light diet, avoiding spicy foods. Additionally, jaundice in full-term newborns usually appears within 24 hours after birth and subsides within two weeks; in premature infants, it fades three weeks after birth. If jaundice persists, the cause should be thoroughly investigated.
