Patient's question:
A 30-day-old newborn baby has loose stools, which have caused their bottom to become red. Every time they wipe their bottom, the baby cries intensely. What should be done in this situation? The baby is eating normally and taking normal naps. There is also occasional leakage of stool during passing gas, but in small amounts.Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, it's relatively normal for a newborn baby to have slightly loose stools. The redness on the baby's buttocks due to the loose stools is likely diaper rash. It is recommended to wash with clean water after each bowel movement and always keep the skin clean and dry. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a 30-day-old newborn baby has loose stools and a red buttocks?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
