Question
A one-and-a-half-month-old baby has green stools with white material. What could be the cause? Is the baby’s insufficient breast milk, currently fed with formula milk, related? How was the past treatment? What kind of help is needed?
Answer
When a baby’s stool appears green and is accompanied by watery or paste-like consistency, is frothy, and has a sour smell, it is usually due to an imbalance in the baby’s intestinal flora. It is recommended to give the baby probiotics and montmorillonite powder for treatment. Treatment can also be done with Shen Ling Bai Zhu Powder or probiotics. It is important to regularly clean the baby’s buttocks and closely observe any changes in symptoms.
