What causes newborn diarrhea at 7 days old?

Patient's question:

Newborn diarrhea, 7 days old, has been having bowel movements like the symptoms described below since meconium was passed.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the symptoms, it is normal for newborns to have bowel movements. Seven days after birth, they are still considered newborns. Breastfeeding for newborns does not require treatment as long as they are well-fed, in good spirits, gaining weight, having more bowel movements, and having thin, unformed stools. If there is no pus, but the stool contains blood, it can be observed. If the frequency of bowel movements increases, probiotics can be taken orally to regulate the intestinal flora for treatment.
