Question
The newborn is one month old, being fed a mixed diet, has smelly farts, defecates once a day, the stool is sticky and turns green, defecation is painful, the face turns red with tears, kicks, cries and fusses when farting, urinates frequently and it’s painful, wakes up in the middle of sleep to urinate without crying. Several types of milk powders have been changed.
Answer
The newborn’s digestive system is not fully matured, and excessive or irregular feeding may lead to digestive dysfunction, resulting in symptoms such as diarrhea, increased bowel sounds, and decreased appetite. Dyspepsia causes incomplete food decomposition, leading to smelly farts. It is recommended to control the amount of food intake, eat small meals frequently, keep warm, avoid catching a cold, engage in more outdoor activities, and appropriately introduce complementary foods such as vegetable soup, juice, and Vitamin AD capsules. Oral intestinal health medications can be taken to regulate the intestinal flora. Hope this helps.
