Question
My baby is just five months old and recently I’ve noticed that she has some diarrhea, sometimes up to four or five times a day, but her spirit is good. I would like to inquire more about how to deal with diarrhea in a 5-month-old baby?
Answer
When a five-month-old baby experiences diarrhea, it can be due to either physiological or pathological reasons. Physiological diarrhea often relates to diet, especially in breastfed babies. It is advisable for mothers to pay more attention to dietary adjustments. If it is due to pathological reasons, it is best to seek medical attention promptly and provide the child with adequate hydration. Diarrhea in babies is often related to improper feeding, so it is recommended not to overfeed and to adjust the amount of food appropriately.
