What should I do if my baby has diarrhea for two days?

Patient's question:

The baby is two days old, and it has been like this for two changes of diapers each time. Every time I change the diaper, he poops. The poop is very liquid, like egg drop soup. What's going on? Is it because I take too long to change him, or what?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has just been born for two days, and the gastrointestinal function is relatively weak. There needs to be a recovery period for the baby to adapt to the external environment, as well as for milk and water. It will gradually improve after a while. If the baby is breastfed, the mother's diet should be balanced and spicy and cold foods should be avoided. If the baby is bottle-fed, attention should be paid to the concentration, temperature, and amount of milk. The above is advice on this issue. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
