Question

My baby is about one month old. After the mother drinks chicken soup or fish soup, the baby’s stool frequency increases significantly, sometimes as many as seven or eight times a day, and sometimes the stool is bloody. Is this an allergy to chicken soup or fish soup?

Answer

I’m glad to help clarify this for you. Based on your description and the mother’s diet, it’s best for the mother to moderately restrict meat and other difficult-to-digest foods. You can give the baby probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora, enhance absorption, such as probiotics, perform clockwise abdominal massage, and if breastfeeding, the mother should not eat spicy or irritating foods, nor should she consume overly fatty foods. If there are similar symptoms after clearly eating fish, it’s considered an allergic reaction. Normally, you can observe if the condition improves when fish is not consumed?
