Question
Why does my baby’s stool have foam, accompanied by crying and loss of appetite?
Answer
Foamy stool in babies may be due to lactose intolerance or dyspepsia. This could be because the baby’s digestive system is not able to properly digest lactose, or there is incomplete absorption of proteins, calcium, and magnesium. Additionally, the presence of milk residue in the stool may also indicate poor absorption and digestion in the baby. It is recommended to give the baby some medications like pediatric digestive granules or MamiAi, and avoid feeding the baby cold or irritating foods. Also, ensure the baby consumes easily digestible foods. You can also try a warm compress on the baby’s abdomen to aid digestion. We hope the baby recovers soon.
