Question

Lately, I’ve occasionally noticed blood threads on the surface of my baby’s runny stool. The baby’s mental state and body temperature are normal, and there’s no change in weight. I would like to ask what could be the cause of this? And if I need to take the baby to the hospital, what kind of checks should be done?

Answer

  1. Drink plenty of water and add milk powder or water with milk partner (milk companion) daily, one packet per day.
  2. For breastfed babies, mothers need to pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure, eating more lightly, and also drink more water.
  3. Give the baby two abdominal clockwise massages daily, each lasting 5-10 minutes.
  4. If the baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for several days, consider using a pediatric enema or soap strip, but avoid long-term use.
  5. Increase the intake of fruits and vegetables.
