Question

My baby is 31 days old, crying and unable to sleep during the day. When breastfeeding, she seems to fall asleep, but wakes up when placed on the bed. The baby’s stools are golden yellow with strands and granules. Is this normal?

Answer

Based on your description, the baby is having difficulty sleeping. The color of the stool is normal. The presence of granules and sticky strands suggests poor digestion. Did you feel a bloated belly? It could be discomfort in the stomach causing this. You can take oral probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora and aid in absorption. Massaging the belly clockwise can also be beneficial for absorption. The above suggestions are for the question “Is it normal for my 31-day-old baby to have golden yellow stools with strands and granules?” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
