The baby just turned one month old, and the stool is very loose, like diarrhea. Is it normal?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Babies who are breastfed tend to have looser and more frequent bowel movements, which is normal. If there's a small amount of watery stool with each bowel movement, it could be due to physiological diarrhea. The mother should pay attention to her diet and avoid spicy, greasy, cold, or irritating foods. Consuming these foods can lead to indigestion in the baby, which can easily cause diarrhea. The mother needs to be mindful of her diet.
