Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, there are many possible causes of your baby's diarrhea, such as viruses, bacteria, improper diet, etc. It is best to identify the cause and treat accordingly.

Continue breastfeeding if possible; for those who cannot, lactose-free formula should be provided. The above is advice for this issue, and we hope it helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
