Is the baby's failure to gain weight related to frequent diarrhea?

Patient's question:

My baby is now 6 and a half months old. She has had 2 episodes of diarrhea before (like water, caused by eating watermelon once and the baby catching a cold). Now, sometimes the baby's poop weighs 14 pounds, and she is thinner than normal babies. I wonder if frequent diarrhea is preventing the baby from gaining weight.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it might be physiological diarrhea. It is mainly due to the improper addition of food supplements. Suggestions: Continue eating infant food and spleen, take some probiotics, and can also mix some montmorillonite. Go to the pediatrician for guidance on complementary feeding. How many times does the child have a bowel movement per day? Usually, as long as the number of bowel movements per day does not exceed 4, it will not affect the child's growth and development. You don't need to worry too much. This condition also needs to be corrected in a timely manner. It is necessary to give the child oral live trichome bacteria and spleen-nourishing granules to prevent it.
