Patient's question:
What to do about newborn diarrhea? A newborn who is 30 days old has yellow diarrhea with mucus, it is watery and has a sour smell, and it gets worse when eating more, and the baby cries and fusses. What can a newborn with diarrhea eat? Please let experienced parents know.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the information you provided, consider the possibility of infantile gastroenteritis. It is recommended to first do a routine stool examination and take probiotics appropriately. Pay attention to rest and hygiene, maintain a relaxed mood, drink plenty of water, and ensure the baby's energy supply. If a breastfed child has diarrhea, do not easily wean them. Instead, you can shorten the duration of each feeding and let the child eat the first half of the milk. The first half of breast milk contains more protein, is easier to digest, and is rich in nutrients, while the second half contains more fat and is harder to digest. If necessary, the mother can drink a large glass of weak salt water half an hour to an hour before breastfeeding to dilute the milk, and then breastfeed the child. It is recommended to use oral digestive powder for treatment and drink more water regularly. If necessary, seek medical attention.
