Question
A 20-day-old male infant, primarily breastfed with occasional formula supplementation. He passes gas about 10 to 15 times a day, with 5 times being watery and 4 times containing stool. He has a bowel movement 1 to 2 times a day, with yellow stools containing milk residue and always watery. He urinates about 10 times a day, colorless and odorless. He has hiccups 2 to 3 times, each lasting about 5 minutes. He has had white spots on his face since birth (similar to milia), and his tongue coating is thick. He has taken oral medication for about 10 days. My blood test report before birth showed high fat content. I now eat 6 to 10 eggs a day, a small bowl of meat at one meal, and the rest is mainly steamed buns, green vegetables, and millet congee.
Answer
I’m glad to explain the issue for you. Based on the information you provided about your baby, it’s clear that you have been observant and your baby seems quite healthy. However, you don’t need to consume too many eggs; three should be sufficient. In terms of diet, it’s important to ensure that you get enough meat, eggs, milk, fish, shrimp, beans, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits daily. Avoid eating too monotonously to ensure a balanced diet and thus improve the quality of breast milk. The milk residue in your baby’s stool suggests possible digestive issues; you might consider supplementing your baby with some probiotics to adjust intestinal function. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby grows up healthy and happy!
