How to deal with diarrhea in newborns?

Patient's question:

The baby is already 18 days old. A few days ago, when the baby was drinking formula milk, the baby's bowel movements were normal. Recently, for the past three days, the baby has started drinking breast milk and has started having diarrhea. Also, I have inverted nipples and am using a plastic nipple to help the baby suck milk. The baby's stool is yellow-green with bubbles and contains curd-like substances.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, considering the situation you mentioned, it is possible that the baby's stomach and spleen absorption function is not good, or it could be due to intestinal infection caused by unclean nipple disinfection.
Suggestions: It is recommended to boil the nipples daily for disinfection. Additionally, you can take infant spleen-strengthening powder to promote the function of the stomach and spleen. If there are curds in the stool, you can also take Mammi Ai. Of course, there is a difference between formula milk and breast milk. Breast milk can lead to a slightly increased frequency of bowel movements, which is normal and nothing to worry about. Wishing your baby health and happiness!
