Question
My newborn is 28 days old and is breastfed. Today, the baby suddenly has an increased number of bowel movements, from several times since the early morning to now, totaling about eight or nine. The stool is yellowish and a bit loose, with a noticeable acidic smell. Sometimes I feel like a little stool comes out when I burp the baby.
Answer
Based on the description, the newborn has a higher than usual stool frequency and a loose texture, which suggests dyspepsia. Taking oral probiotics, such as Sanlian Active Bacteria Powder, can be considered. If the baby is breastfed, the stool condition may be directly related to the mother’s diet. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health.
