Patient's question:
Is it normal for an 18-day-old baby to have watery bowel movements like that? Is it diarrhea? They have bowel movements many times a day, almost every time they change a diaper. The baby is breastfed.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to conduct a detailed examination of the stool, as it may be a recurrence of acute gastroenteritis or lactose intolerance, indigestion. You can coordinate with each other by performing clockwise abdominal massage. If abdominal pain recurs, you can coordinate by using clove appetite stimulant patches to aid digestion and eliminate bloating. If intestinal flora imbalance occurs again, you can coordinate by using probiotics. If lactose intolerance recurs, you can coordinate by using anti-nausea and vomiting formula milk. The above suggestions are for the question "Is it normal for a 18-day-old baby to have watery stools followed by picture-like stools? Is it diarrhea?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
