What is the reason for the cracked skin around the anus of a newborn with a red bottom due to frequent bowel movements?

Patient's question:

The baby is over two weeks old. Every time they pass gas, they have a bowel movement, or they poop when they strain. It's watery, sometimes like water, sometimes foamy. They are exclusively breastfed.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, your child is likely suffering from stagnation. It's advisable to see a pediatrician or, even better, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. After resolving the stagnation, everything will improve.
Suggestions: The current diet is not suitable. Cakes are particularly difficult to digest. Children's spleen and stomach are weak and easily affected. The diet should be adjusted to include easily digestible foods. Additionally, medical attention is necessary to eliminate the stagnation. Otherwise, it may lead to indigestion, which is harmful to the child's physical development.
