Infants fed with formula milk who experience indigestion typically exhibit only mild symptoms. Parents should cultivate healthy feeding habits—such as offering smaller, more frequent feedings—and ensure the infant drinks warm water regularly during feeding to help alleviate discomfort. If indigestion is more severe, medications such as *Bacillus subtilis* and *Enterococcus faecium* probiotic granules or a triple-strain probiotic powder containing *Bifidobacterium* may be administered under a physician’s guidance. Additionally, it is important to keep the infant’s abdomen warm in daily care.
