Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
4.5 Months Baby, Frothy Pale Yellow Stool, Gassy, Splotches On Body. Taking Breast Milk, Soy Supplement. Reason?
4 1/2 month old baby suddenly has frothy pale yellow poop. She is breast fed and suplimented with soy 2x a week at sitters. She is very gassy and spits up allot. Some red splotches on back of neck and sometimes on arms or legs. Seems to have discomfort in belly at night wakes up, cries and passes gas. Dairy problem? Soy? Dont know what to do. Thank you!
It is not unusual for babies to pass a lot of gas and they wake up very frequently to take feeds in the night. Stools of breast fed babies are semisolid, golden yellow in colour and may come out with gas. I suggest that you discontinue the supplementary feeds for a few days and observe if the stool improve and the skin condition improves.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
