Patient's question:
My daughter is three months and twenty days old. I got a cold a few days ago, but I still fed her some breast milk. She has had loose stools six times a day, maybe more. If it's like this today, I'll go to the hospital. Does anyone know what's going on? How should I handle it?Doctor's answer:
Having green stools may be due to poor digestion or a cold. Giving a little lactase enzyme can help improve it~ The dietary arrangement for newborn babies is simple. If there is enough breast milk, just feed the baby whenever they are hungry. If you are also supplementing with formula, you should also give them some water. "Nursing shock" means the milk uncontrollably flows out when the baby is sucking, at which time you need to pinch the nipple a bit to prevent choking the baby. Also, colds are transmitted through the respiratory tract, and breastfeeding will not transmit the infection. You can express the milk and feed it to the baby.
