Question
A friend’s child was born about five days ago and is now experiencing diarrhea. The family is very worried about the child’s health. Is it normal for a baby born five days ago to have diarrhea?
Answer
This could be related to the parents’ diet and may also be caused by the baby’s poor digestion. If the baby also has varying degrees of crying or abdominal distension, this could indicate gastrointestinal disorder, and it is recommended to give the baby probiotics or probiotic treatments for the intestines. If diarrhea is accompanied by milk curdles, it is caused by poor digestion, and it is necessary to improve the baby’s dietary habits. It is advised to seek medical treatment promptly.
