Question
The five-month-old baby has been having diarrhea recently, and there are milk lumps in the stool. What’s going on?
Answer
If a five-month-old baby’s stool contains milk lumps, it might indicate dyspepsia. At this point, mothers should pay attention to the feeding method, follow the principle of less meals but more frequent feedings, temporarily stop giving the baby complementary foods, and administer some digestive medicine such as Pansinorm or Lactase. Additionally, it is important to ensure the baby’s abdominal warmth and avoid catching a cold. It is recommended that parents take the baby for a stool test as soon as possible to determine the specific situation.
