Question
The child is 32 days old and has a stiff stomach, frequently makes sounds, and has frequent bowel movements. The baby prefers formula milk before breastfeeding and recently, the diaper change interval has exceeded two hours, with unsatisfactory bowel movements. Past treatments and effects: Two boxes of probiotics have been taken but were ineffective. Needed assistance: What should be done currently?
Answer
At one month old, the baby’s stomach is currently stiff, which may indicate indigestion or catching a cold. The abdomen needs to be kept warm, and gentle abdominal massage can be performed. There should be a certain time interval between breast milk and formula milk, with water being offered as an in-between meal. Probiotics can be taken or Pange Shen Sheng treatment can be used. If there are many bowel movements, Shen Ling Bai Zhu powder is more effective.
