Question
My baby is 80 days old and has been having green stools for the past ten days. I’ve given her Mommy Love formula, Montmorillonite powder, and three other powders, and she feels better when she eats them, but turns green again when she doesn’t. The doctor said it’s due to dyspepsia. Is that right? Besides, she has been crying every night for the past five or six days, from 10 pm until 1 am. My baby has been breastfed. What could be the reason?
Answer
A baby’s green stool may be caused by dyspepsia, and the medication you’ve given is appropriate. However, Montmorillonite powder is not necessary when there is no nausea or vomiting. You can give your baby Mommy Love, Beifida, Si Liang Kang, or Yihuo formulas, all of which can adjust the intestinal flora. The constant crying at night should be due to a lack of vitamin D in the baby, which can lead to increased nervous excitement and crying. Guidance: Focus on giving the baby medication to adjust the intestinal flora, along with supplements of vitamin D and calcium.
