Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. How can one distinguish if a baby has diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Babies who are breastfed tend to have looser and more frequent bowel movements, generally without mucus or pus. If the baby is in good spirits, has a good appetite, and shows no other discomfort, and importantly, if their weight gain is within the normal range, this is referred to as "physiological diarrhea." Generally, there is no need to change the feeding method or reduce the amount or frequency of milk. This condition usually resolves naturally after the introduction of solid foods, with a reduction in bowel movement frequency. Since this type of diarrhea has no significant impact on the baby's growth and development, it does not require special treatment. In the current situation, further medical examination can be conducted to determine if there are any other abnormalities.
