Question
The newborn has had mild diarrhea since birth, and it has not improved for 60 days. In addition to abdominal swelling causing the baby to cry, there are also bubbles in the stool, and eczema is present. The baby has taken Mommy Love, but the effect was not good. Please provide improvement suggestions.
Answer
Bubbles in the stool may indicate that the child has difficulty digesting sugars. It is advisable to avoid giving high-sugar formulas, especially those with high lactose content, as this may trigger lactose intolerance leading to vomiting. It is suggested to use a warm towel to apply heat on the baby’s abdomen to promote gas expulsion and intestinal peristalsis, thereby alleviating abdominal swelling and pain. These are common issues in newborns, and I hope the above suggestions will be helpful to you.
