Question
A five-month-old baby recently has green-colored stool and experiences dry vomiting every day. During the day, the child drinks six-month-old infant formula from a Canadian original Nestle brand, while at night, they are breastfed. The baby has poor sleep quality, but the urine is normal, and their mood and appetite are good, with no significant weight gain. This situation has been ongoing for a month and a half. What were the previous treatment methods and outcomes? How should the issues of dry vomiting and green stool be addressed?
Answer
Firstly, do not worry excessively. It is recommended to start gradually introducing rice porridge, egg yolk, thin congee, noodles, fish meat, and minced meat balls from around four months of age. The general principle is to progress gradually, from less to more, from thin to thick, from one type to multiple types, from simple to complex. There is no fixed pattern; as long as there is no digestive discomfort, avoid fussy eating. Generally, provide complementary foods during meal times, and switch diapers appropriately at other times. If vomiting occurs, temporarily stop feeding. Once the condition improves, gradually resume feeding.
