Hello doctor! My baby is 4 months old and still has loose stools. A baby has a bowel movement 5 to 6 times a day, the stools are yellow and foamy, sometimes even water. Please ask the doctor if a 4-month-old baby has loose yellow stools with foamy mucus, is it due to formula feeding? My baby is currently drinking Japanese meiji milk. Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.

Hello. Breast milk is the best food for babies and children! So in case of force majeure, there is no breast milk, use formula milk.
In case a 4-month-old baby has yellow liquid stools with foamy mucus 5-6 times a day, it is likely that the child's digestive system has problems. You should take your child to a reputable medical facility or one of the Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide to examine your baby. From there, determine the cause of the child's yellow stools with mucus and reasonable treatment.
In case of necessity, it is necessary to change the formula milk more suitable for the baby. Talk to your doctor to find out which formula is best for your baby.
