Patient's question:
My baby has been ten days old since birth. They have been having diarrhea all this time. It's like curdled milk. The anus is even red from the discharge. What could be the reason? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Baby diarrhea may be caused by indigestion. It could also be due to a cold or a bacterial infection. Since the baby is young, the digestive system is relatively weak but very important. This directly affects the baby's ability to absorb nutrients and healthy growth.First, if the mother has enough milk, it is recommended to exclusively breastfeed.
Second, pay attention to the quality of the diet: When breastfeeding is insufficient or unavailable and artificial feeding is used, dietary adjustments should be made.
Third, breastfeeding mothers must maintain a balanced diet with reasonable and comprehensive nutritional combinations. It should also be light.
