Question
A 63-day-old baby, fed artificially, suddenly developed loose stool with milk residue recently. The baby’s mental state is normal. What should be done for nurturing?
Answer
The 63-day-old baby’s stool has suddenly become thinner, which may be caused by dyspepsia. Probiotics can be taken orally for adjustment, but it is not recommended to take them continuously for a long time; generally, 7-10 days of oral administration is sufficient. At the same time, pay attention to the baby’s stool condition. If the baby is feeding normally and there are no abnormal crying or fussing, the problem may not be serious. You can give the baby more water appropriately. If you are still not sure, you can take some Wensui Yang’er Granules for adjustment. Remember to keep the baby’s abdomen warm and avoid cold exposure.
