Question

What could be the reason for my baby’s diarrhea at 13 days old? My baby has been having diarrhea for two consecutive days and has also developed heat rash. I’m not sure if it’s a problem with me or if the baby has eaten something bad.

Answer

I’m glad to assist you. Based on the situation you described, it is initially suspected that the issue is not related to breastfeeding. Newborns usually have loose stools. It is recommended that you avoid eating greasy foods and avoid spicy, greasy, and cold foods for dinner. At the same time, you do not need to dress your baby too warmly to prevent heat rash. Additionally, it is suggested to develop a regular lifestyle habit, persist with treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in more aerobic exercise to enhance immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
