Question
A four-and-a-half-month-old baby has two to four bowel movements a day, sometimes with some undigested milk residue and a sour smell. Is this normal? Do they need to be given probiotics every day?
Answer
The baby may have a digestive issue caused by indigestion. It is recommended to check the baby’s stool and consider giving them Montmorillonite powder and Bacillus subtilis powder or other probiotics. If there are symptoms of inflammation, medication should be added; if not, treatment should proceed as suggested. It is hoped that this little one can soon overcome illness and enjoy every day of their happy life.
