What causes diarrhea in babies?

Patient's question:

What is the reason for the baby's diarrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is likely that the diarrhea is caused by the child catching a cold. It could also be due to the breast milk being too cold, which may lead to diarrhea. It is best to breastfeed rather than use formula. I recommend giving the infant some oral electrolyte solutions to replenish the lost fluids and minerals. Additionally, some infants who are fed with cow's milk may experience diarrhea because certain proteins in cow's milk can cause allergies. Since goat's milk does not contain any allergenic proteins, feeding with goat's milk will not cause allergic diarrhea. Goat's milk can be accepted by babies of any constitution.
