What should be done if a newborn has diarrhea during their hospital stay?

My child was in the hospital for 13 days after birth and was always fed breast milk. Yesterday, the child just came home and started eating breast milk. However, at night, the child cried nonstop and had diarrhea. I want to ask what to do, I'm so desperate!

Doctor's answer:

Before breastfeeding, it is important to wash your face carefully and wipe the nipples with warm water. The bra you wear should also be cleaned thoroughly and replaced frequently. This is to maintain infant feeding hygiene and prevent intestinal infections. The mother should also avoid spicy and stimulating foods, as well as high-fat soups and foods.
