Patient's question:
My baby is six months old. I have been breastfeeding her. But today she has been feeling nauseous and vomiting. What could be the reason? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when nausea and vomiting occur, the frequency of bowel movements increases, the stool becomes watery, the color changes to green, and it has a foul odor. This is because bowel habits vary, and every baby has different daily bowel movement times. Infant diarrhea is often caused by improper diet or infections inside or outside the intestines, leading to a comprehensive digestive dysfunction that commonly occurs in infants under 2 years old. Breastfed infants typically have one to two bowel movements daily, with yellow-green paste-like stools, while formula-fed infants have yellow, formed stools.
