Question
My baby is 16 days old and has been pooping milk curds for the past week. The stools have always been yellow, and today I noticed an odor. The baby is not crying or fussy, and the weight gain is normal. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Based on your description, these symptoms are likely due to indigestion. I suggest you keep your baby’s abdomen warm, massage the abdomen, and avoid overfeeding by feeding in small amounts multiple times. Maintain a moist indoor air environment. You can also give your baby some probiotic products containing probiotics, but don’t worry too much. As the baby’s digestive system gradually matures, the condition will improve slowly.
