First and foremost, it is important to keep the abdomen warm. When the temperature drops, babies are prone to diarrhea. During diarrhea, intestinal peristalsis is already quite fast. If the abdomen is exposed to cold at this time, the peristalsis will accelerate further, leading to worsened diarrhea. In such cases, parents should appropriately warm the child's abdomen using hot water bags, heating pads, or similar items, while also gently massaging the abdomen to alleviate pain.Second, daily items should be disinfected promptly. Since babies are young, their physical constitutions and immune systems are naturally weak, and their skin is delicate, making them susceptible to infections. Therefore, items used by the child should be cleaned and disinfected in a timely manner to prevent cross-contamination. Toys should also be frequently cleaned and disinfected. The spoons, bottles, and bowls used for feeding and drinking are particularly important—each must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after every use. It is best to boil them in hot water before each use.
