Patient's question:
The baby has been having loose stools since birth when breastfeeding. The doctor helped me check what's going on with this. Now he's almost three months old, and probiotics don't help, nor do the medications.Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you provided, the baby's condition is likely physiological diarrhea. The main symptom is an increase in bowel movements, but the baby does not cry or fuss, has normal appetite, and does not interfere with growth and development. When medication is used, bowel movements improve, but they return to their original state after the medication is stopped. In cases like this, treatment is not necessary for physiological diarrhea. As the baby grows older and starts complementary foods, the symptoms will gradually decrease until they disappear.
