Patient's question:
Can a 9-month-old baby with diarrhea still breastfeed?I saw a doctor who said it was gastroenteritis and that she could still breastfeed. However, when she does, she has diarrhea, and it's still watery. I want to ask if it's okay to continue breastfeeding.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Gastroenteritis
Desired help: I hope to get professional medical help so my baby can suffer less.
Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is a symptom of indigestion. You can give the baby some infant stomach-strengthening powder for regulation, drink some light salt water, and apply some calamine lotion externally. Avoid extremely cold and cooling foods, drink more hot water, and you can also use a hot water bag for cold compresses on the baby's navel. The treatment can be self-cured within 2 days. The above is the advice for the question "Can a 9-month-old baby with diarrhea still breastfeed? Saw a doctor," hoping it helps you. Wishing you health!
