Question

My baby is three months old and makes a gurgling sound in the stomach while drinking formula milk. Following this, they tightly clutch their hands, turn red, stick out their legs straight, strain, cry, sweat profusely, as if in pain. However, they quickly recover and this situation occurs multiple times a day, especially when drinking formula milk. Their stools are a bit green, but the stool test results are normal. What could be the cause?

Answer

Hello, your baby’s condition may be due to indigestion or catching a cold resulting in green stools. You can try using probiotics, lactase enzyme supplements, and baby abdominal patches to alleviate the symptoms. At the same time, make sure to give your baby plenty of water and keep them warm, especially their abdomen. Temporarily avoid making the formula too thick and gently rub your baby’s abdomen with warm hands. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Wishing you and your baby good health!
