Question
My baby is 20 days old, and each time they pass gas, they also have some stool. What should I do?
Answer
As babies grow, their bowel control is not yet fully developed, so it’s normal for them to pass gas with a bit of stool and have bubbles. It’s recommended that mothers’ diets be nutritious, light, and easy to digest, avoiding citrus fruits and other cold foods, as well as overly greasy foods. At the same time, keep the baby’s buttocks dry and clean. When washing, use water to gently press instead of scrubbing to reduce the risk of damaging the baby’s delicate skin. Wishing the baby a healthy growth!
