Prolonged milk flaps in infants may be a sign of indigestion, which in the long run may cause malnutrition in infants, affecting their growth and development.
The digestive system of infants is still not well developed, the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by cold for a long period of time or the baby’s diet is not appropriate (for example, the addition of complementary foods is unreasonable or the formula milk formula is not suitable for babies, etc.). This can lead to indigestion and the appearance of milk petals in the stool. This may lead to malnutrition and lowered immunity, which will have a negative impact on the growth and development of the baby.
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for babies to have a few occasional milk petals in their stools and no special treatment is needed. If the milk petals appear in the stool for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical advice and treatment under the guidance of a doctor in order to avoid adverse consequences.
