Patient's question:
Hello! My baby is 28 days old today. I don't know why she has diarrhea every time she eats breast milk! The child's temperature is normal, but she cries and needs to be held when she has diarrhea. However, everything is fine when she switches to formula milk. Please, can any doctor provide an answer? Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Babies who are breastfed typically have golden-colored, soft, and loose stools (uniformly thick, no watery or pellet-like stools), which is normal. However, the presence of foamy or watery stools is not normal. If the baby has a cold in the abdomen or the mother's diet is improper, these symptoms may occur. Therefore, scientific dietary habits for the lactating mother and proper care for the baby are the best measures to prevent and treat this condition. Improving the quality of breast milk is also closely related to the mother's diet.
