Patient's question:
The baby is two months old and is breastfed. Yesterday, the baby started having diarrhea. The doctor said it might be a problem with my breast milk. What should the mother eat to help stop the baby's diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Babies who are breastfed may experience diarrhea, and mothers need to pay attention to their diet. First and foremost, mothers should avoid unhygienic food. At the same time, they should increase the intake of cooling beverages. Overconsumption of fats can also easily trigger nausea and vomiting in the baby again. Mothers can use ingredients like Chinese yam and coix seed, which are beneficial for strengthening the spleen and kidneys, and are good for the baby's digestive system. Daily routines should be regular, adequate warmth should be maintained, light and soft foods should be eaten, ventilation should be frequent, and plenty of hot water should be drunk to ensure the condition does not recur.
