Question
Dear pediatrician, my child was born on February 29, and is primarily breastfed with formula milk as a supplement. Currently, the baby is experiencing some abdominal bloating and vomiting. In addition, the baby’s urine color is slightly yellow, and I am worried whether the baby is dehydrated.
Answer
In response to the above situation, it is recommended to give the baby oral probiotics to promote the balance of intestinal flora. If the baby exhibits symptoms such as abdominal bloating and vomiting, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to rule out diseases such as Hirschsprung’s disease. Moreover, a slightly yellow urine color may be a sign of dehydration in the baby, so it is necessary to provide the baby with adequate water intake.
