Question
Why is the stool of a 3-week-old baby acidic?
Answer
The acidic stool of a 3-week-old baby may be due to digestive issues. It is suggested to avoid giving too much greasy food and consider using Pao-Hsiang Wan to regulate digestion, or cook and serve roasted carrot seeds after removing the shells, both of which can help improve digestive problems. Additionally, providing adequate amounts of plain water helps keep the baby’s intestines lubricated, and as they grow, gradually increase the amount of feedings. When the baby has a cold, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration, it is advisable to give them water more frequently.
