What should I do if my baby has gastroenteritis?

Patient's question:

The baby has already had three bowel movements since getting up this morning, and the later ones were all watery. After getting a bunch of tests done at the hospital, they said the baby has gastroenteritis. But I've been breastfeeding my baby since birth, so how could this happen?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, acute gastroenteritis in children is a common digestive system disease. Infants and young children have relatively poor gastrointestinal function and low resistance to external infections, so they are prone to illness with slight discomfort. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
