Question

The baby is 40 days old and has had loose stool since birth. For the past few days, after taking probiotics, the stool has been golden yellow and thick. However, for the past two days, the stool has turned green and is very loose, resembling water with stool when it is passed. The baby is exclusively breastfed and there appears to be more milk residue. The baby sleeps deeply and is alert, gaining 2 pounds and 4 ounces in weight. What should I do?

Answer

Based on your description, the baby may have loose stool due to imbalanced gut flora or digestive issues. It is recommended to give the baby probiotics orJianpi San (tonifying the spleen powder) for adjustment. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure.
