Question
My baby is over 40 days old and has been frequently passing green, thin stools with white matter. What could be the cause?
Answer
The baby’s green, thin stools with white matter are likely due to indigestion. Indigestion often results from gastrointestinal motility disorders, which may be related to cold weather or unclean food. You can give the baby probiotics and pediatric digestive powder, and combine them with dietary adjustments. Reduce feeding frequency, cook millet congee, and only drink the congee soup without consuming the millet itself, as it is nutritious and helps digestion. During this period, avoid spicy, greasy, cold, and irritating foods. Be sure to keep warm to prevent catching a cold.
