How to handle diarrhea in a 3-month-old baby

Patient's question:

The baby is still small, and they have loose stools with 78 bowel movements a day. Their stomach makes gurgling sounds. How should I handle loose stools in a 3-month-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, your three-month-old baby is breastfed and is now experiencing diarrhea. Diarrhea is mostly caused by exposure to cold or indigestion. I suggest you give your baby more water and feed them more frequently but with smaller amounts. You can also give probiotics and smectite to treat the diarrhea. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting cold. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable top-tier hospitals as soon as possible according to their own condition, so that they can be treated effectively and recover quickly.
