Question

A two-month-old baby has a higher frequency of diarrhea at night and often vomits, and sometimes has diarrhea during the day as well. No treatment has been administered yet, and we hope to get some help. We are breastfeeding the baby, and we want to know how to treat this condition.

Answer

Based on the description, the baby’s condition may be due to dyspepsia. Firstly, it is important to pay attention to proper feeding methods and avoid overfeeding. In terms of treatment, consider using digestive aids such asJianpi San (Shenai San), probiotics, or lactobacillus, which can help improve digestion. Additionally, gently patting the baby’s back after each feeding can help expel swallowed air. It is also important to be gentle when holding or putting the baby down after feeding to reduce the baby’s activity level. At the same time, do not overfeed the baby to avoid increasing the burden on the digestive system.
