Question
What should I do if my baby starts having diarrhea just a few days after birth?
Answer
If your baby begins to have diarrhea within a few days of birth, it might be due to a cold. In this case, it’s recommended to give your baby plenty of water and avoid using anti-diarrheal medications. If the diarrhea is not severe, offering some warm water can often help. If this does not work, you can try applying a warm compress to the baby or give them Montmorillonite powder to alleviate the symptoms.
