Patient's question:
On December 18th, I woke up in the morning and found that the doll had diarrhea. In the morning, I took her to the hospital. Before having diarrhea, she was still taking cold medicine and had a little runny nose and cough. She had to go 4 or 5 times a day.Doctor's answer:
Infant and toddler diarrhea is mostly caused by improper feeding and dietary imbalances. Therefore, using the following methods can not only provide nutrition but also have a stop-diarrhea effect.I. Adjusting Diet
If a child being breastfed develops diarrhea, do not easily stop breastfeeding. Instead, you can shorten the duration of each feeding session, allowing the child to consume only the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the milk, as the first part of breast milk mainly contains protein and similar substances. The latter part of breast milk primarily contains fat and similar substances, which are harder to digest. Therefore, you can express this part of the milk and discard it.
If the child is formula-fed, it is not advisable to feed them whole-fat milk at this time. Instead, low-fat or skim milk should be provided.
