How to deal with diarrhea in a 12-day-old baby?

Patient's question:

How to deal with a 12-day-old baby with diarrhea. The stool is relatively loose and contains milky white granular substances. Usually, when the baby has diarrhea, it also passes gas. I asked the doctor, what causes this situation? How should it be treated? It's best not to take medicine if possible. Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, the condition of your baby is likely caused by poor digestive function, which is mainly related to the immature gastrointestinal development of newborns.
Advice: First, pay attention to keeping your baby's abdomen warm. You can give your baby some water and consider oral medication to regulate gastrointestinal function, such as Marmelat. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
