Patient's question:
Successfully completed exclusive breastfeeding until now. Yesterday, she started having diarrhea. Yesterday, she had four bowel movements, with green, watery stools that were almost entirely liquid. By yesterday afternoon, she had already started having yellow, watery stools. By 2 PM today, she had had three bowel movements. The stools were very watery, yellow, and contained translucent, jelly-like "mucus?" The baby is in good spirits, and there is a "popping" sound when she has a bowel movement. The area around her anus is already a bit red. How is this related to frozen milk feeding (the mother's workplace refrigerates the milk in the freezer, thaws it with warm water, and then warms it before feeding)? Or is it just diarrhea from being sick? Should we go to the hospital?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: I hope, I hope, I hope.
Doctor's answer:
The condition of your baby is likely caused by poor absorption function, which is related to feeding them cold milk. It is recommended not to feed the baby in this way in the future. After the milk is refrigerated and then reheated, its nutrients are basically destroyed.Suggestions: The baby can be given Amoxicillin granules and Mimi Ai orally, and they can be taken together with Simethicone. At four months, it is recommended to gradually introduce complementary foods to the baby, regardless of how sufficient breastfeeding is. You can provide some complementary foods for your baby when the mother is at home. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
