Patient's question:
My baby is 7 days old today and is breastfed. A few days ago, his bowel movements were normal, though a bit loose. Today, it seems like he has diarrhea. From morning to the afternoon, he hasn’t slept much, just eating, then having bowel movements and urinating. He probably had about ten bowel movements, some watery, some with milk, but the color was normal. In the afternoon, I gave him Mimi Ai, and then he finally slept. What could this be related to? What is happening? He hasn’t been crying or fussing, just having too many bowel movements.For the past few days, my diet has been mostly millet porridge and soup. The change was that last night I ate a few bites of green beans, and this morning I had a few bites of scrambled eggs. Is this related to my diet? What should I do? He is
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, after reading your description, the baby's sleeplessness today is not much related to the changes in your diet today. Babies under six months old have not fully established their gut microbiota, so they can easily suffer from digestive issues if not taken care of properly.Advice: The baby is likely experiencing digestive issues, which is related to the incomplete development of the gut microbiota. The improvement after taking Mummy's Love (a probiotic) further indicates that the baby has digestive issues. It is now best to have the baby take enzyme tablets for regulation.
Regarding the mother, as long as she avoids spicy and cold foods, does not smoke or drink alcohol, and maintains a normal diet, it will not cause the baby to have diarrhea. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
