Question

My baby is 13 days old, and he’s been having diarrhea for the past few days, running around everywhere, and the situation has been worsening recently. Moreover, his sleep has also been poor. What could be causing my baby’s diarrhea?

Answer

There are many possible reasons for a baby’s diarrhea. It could be due to the child not being clean, or because of long-term contamination symptoms, or possibly because it has a lot to do with the child’s usual water source. If you give the child another drink, they may likely develop diarrhea symptoms. The child’s diarrhea could also be due to long-term indigestion, so it’s very important to say that normal feeding is not enough to make a child overeat.
