Question

My 3-month-old baby has smelly stool and often defecates. Why is this happening? What can be done to make the baby feel better?

Answer

I’m sorry to hear about your baby’s condition. Based on your description, it seems that your baby might be experiencing dyspepsia. To improve this situation, you can try the following methods:

  1. Supplement your baby with probiotics to help regulate the intestinal flora and aid in digestion.
  2. Ensure your baby consumes enough warm water to maintain body hydration.
  3. Gently massage your baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote bowel movement and relieve bloating.
  4. If the problem persists or worsens, it is recommended that you take your baby to see a doctor for a professional diagnosis and treatment.
