Answer
The baby’s condition may be functional dyspepsia, indicated by milk curds showing incomplete absorption and bubbles being a sign of gas produced by dyspepsia. Probiotics and pancreatin can be used to adjust, as these medications help regulate gastrointestinal function and promote absorption. Pay attention to keeping the baby’s abdomen warm.
