Patient's question:
A ten-month-old baby has diarrhea, followed by a fever, but now the fever has subsided. The baby has two bowel movements a day, in a thin, mushy consistency. The baby is not in good spirits and keeps wanting to take a nap. The past two days, the baby wasn't fed breast milk during the day, and didn't have a bowel movement for a whole day. At night, when breast milk was fed, the baby had three bowel movements. Can the baby still be breastfed?Doctor's answer:
If I feel about the current situation, you can't refuse to feed him because he's still vomiting and having diarrhea. If you don't digest it for him, it will consume a lot of energy, and he will definitely be unable to bear it because he's so small. The above is advice on the question "Can a ten-month-old baby with diarrhea and fever still be breastfed?" I hope it helps you, and wish the patient a speedy recovery!
