Question

A friend’s child was born about five days ago and is now experiencing diarrhea. The child’s family is very concerned about the child’s health. Is it normal for a baby born five days ago to have diarrhea?

Answer

This situation may be related to the parent’s diet or could be due to the baby’s digestive discomfort. If the baby also exhibits varying degrees of crying or abdominal bloating, this may indicate gastrointestinal turmoil, and it is advisable to give the baby probiotics or probiotics that help regulate the intestines. Diarrhea accompanied by milk residue in the baby’s stool is a sign of indigestion, and it is necessary to improve the baby’s dietary habits. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment promptly.
