Question
My baby is two months old, and after switching to a new formula today, their stools turned black and blue, and they have eye mucus. What could be the reason for this? What should I do?
Answer
Hello! First, please pay attention to whether your baby has any other symptoms besides the eye mucus, such as red eyes or other abnormalities. If there is only eye mucus without other symptoms, it is usually due to heat in the body. While keeping your baby warm, avoid over-warming to prevent overheating. If your baby is breastfed, the mother should drink more water and consume fresh fruits and vegetables appropriately, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. For the yellowish tears, it is recommended to bring your baby to an ophthalmologist for a detailed examination and subsequent treatment.
