Question

My baby is 10 days old and has been drinking goat’s milk. I noticed recently that their stool is dry and yellow, and they only have two bowel movements every three days, which is quite difficult. Can I add a sufficient amount of probiotics to the formula milk?

Answer

Newborns may not have fully expanded their gastrointestinal function. If constipation occurs again, probiotics can be given to the baby for relief. It’s also a good idea to give the baby plenty of water and perform abdominal massage to help with digestion.
