Question
The baby is 6 months old and has two to three bowel movements a day, mostly in white, lumpy form. The symptoms have persisted for about a week, and the baby is currently taking a compound pancreatin powder without much effect. How can we stabilize the problem of dyspepsia?
Answer
If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid eating overly fatty, extremely cold, or hard foods. If the baby’s stool does not affect their milk drinking, play, or mental state, no medication treatment is necessary. Just pay attention to a few points in diet; as long as it does not affect normal growth and development, such a frequency of bowel movements is normal. In addition, when experiencing diarrhea, avoid giving fruits and other easily digestible complementary foods.
