Patient's question:
Tianbao has been having diarrhea since 6 PM and by 10 PM, he had already gone six times. He hasn't slept either and has been crying nonstop! Later, he started crying every less than an hour, maybe because he's not feeling well! He also suddenly started spitting up milk, and the milk he's spitting up is different from before—it's thicker now, a bit like cottage cheese! Seeing the baby crying so intensely while being unable to help him truly breaks my heart!! The baby is only 16 days old. He has been drinking formula before, but for the past two or three days, he hasn't had any formula and has been exclusively breastfeeding! I don't know if he caught a cold and got diarrhea or what!Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: It's normal for a newborn to have diarrhea right after birth, possibly because of undigested food. Generally, taking some Mammi Ai to regulate their digestion should help. However, you can first ask the doctor if it's okay to give it to him. Vomiting is also normal, as a baby's stomach hasn't fully developed yet. Lightly patting his back after feeding or holding him upright for a while can help alleviate it.Suggestions: Since he is breastfed, the mother should avoid eating too sweet or greasy foods, as they can also have an impact.
