Question
My baby is already 100 days old, and I don’t know why their stool is always loose, with a yellow-green color, and happens once or twice a day. We feed them milk. We’ve tried using a navel patch before, but the effect was not obvious. Can we give them probiotics? How much?
Answer
Based on your description, it is normal for a 100-day-old baby to have one to two bowel movements a day, and a yellow-green color falls within the common range. This may be related to the milk you are feeding them. For your baby’s current condition, it is recommended not to worry too much and not to take medication immediately. You can consider adding complementary foods such as rice porridge to your baby’s diet, which may help improve their stool condition. As for probiotics, you can consider giving them to your baby, but the dosage should be according to the product instructions or the advice of a doctor.
