Suggest remedy for hard and bloody stools in infants
Patient: Hello my daughter is 9 days old. I have been feeding her breast milk and enfamil gentlease. She seems to have a hard time pooping and when she does a hemroid sticks out. Sometimes it even bleeds. What should I do to help her? I heard giving both breast milk and formula isn t good for baby but I don t produce enough milk to satisfy her. What should I do? Doctor: Give her colic aid drops or any other simethicone drops available in your area. Gripe water can also be added to her formula or given otherwise. Try to be sure she does not pass hard stools. Make sure the ratio of formula to water is correct and not concentrated more.
