Is it normal for a baby to have loose stools when breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

My baby doesn't know what's going on either. Every time it's summer, as soon as the baby eats breast milk, it has loose stools. Is it normal for the baby to have loose stools when eating breast milk?

Doctor's answer:

After the baby eats breast milk, there is a phenomenon of loose stools, which is mainly caused by the breast milk being slightly hot or too cold when consumed. This phenomenon can lead to poor digestion in the baby and easily cause diarrhea. Therefore, for people in this situation, when feeding the baby breast milk, they must wait until their body has adjusted and the temperature is suitable before feeding the baby. Otherwise, it is very easy to develop diarrhea.
