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, he has loose stools after drinking breast milk. Is it normal for babies to have loose stools while drinking breast milk?

Doctor's answer:

After the baby eats breast milk, there is a phenomenon of loose stools, which is mainly due to the breast milk being a bit too hot or too cold when consumed. This phenomenon can lead to poor digestion in the baby and easily cause diarrhea. Therefore, for people in such situations, 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 cause diarrhea.
