Question

My newborn, who is 20 days old and is fed a mixture of breast milk and formula, has not defecated for the past two days. Today, after abdominal massage, they excreted green stool. What could be the reason for this?

Answer

Based on the described situation, this may be a condition caused by slight intestinal inflammation in the newborn. It is recommended to consider this possibility and take the newborn to a regular pediatric department of a hospital for examination and appropriate measures. It is suggested to give the newborn more water and pay attention to the issues with the formula.
