Low birth weight infants who breastfeed often have frequent bowel movements?

Patient's question:

My baby is now eight and a half months old. I feel that the child's physique is a bit lean, and breastfeeding always causes diarrhea. I would like to ask, what should be done if a child with low body weight loves to defecate while breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is recommended to drink more water, and chicken soup or fish soup can promote milk production. If the child has persistent diarrhea, it is also necessary to take the child to the hospital for examination and appropriate medication to prevent the child's condition from worsening. At the same time, it is recommended to give the child some appetizing foods, such as hawthorn. If you have diarrhea, you should give your child some medication to regulate the digestive system. Provide your child with adequate water on a daily basis. You can also encourage more exercise with the children.
