How to treat diarrhea in newborns

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with a series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. How should diarrhea in newborns be treated?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has diarrhea from breastfeeding, which is closely related to the mother. For example, if the mother consumes a diet high in fat and calories while nursing but lacks vegetables and fruits, the nutritional balance in the breast milk may be affected. Additionally, mothers during the postpartum period face many restrictions, and with the added responsibility of caring for the baby, they often lack adequate rest and may experience irritability, all of which can impact the breast milk. It is recommended that mothers maintain a balanced diet and follow a reasonable dietary plan during the postpartum period.
