Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The poop of breastfed babies is usually runny and mushy. If the baby has diarrhea, the poop may be watery or foamy. New moms should first distinguish between normal and abnormal poop to avoid mistaking normal poop for diarrhea. If a breastfed baby has diarrhea, in addition to catching a cold or being sick, it is mostly likely due to the mom's diet, such as consuming cold drinks, foods with strong cold properties like watermelon, or greasy or irritating foods, which can all cause gastrointestinal discomfort in the baby.
