Question
The baby has been born for two months but often has diarrhea. The stool is very loose, sometimes even watery, and may have a white coating on the surface. What is this situation? What should be done? Is massage effective?
Answer
This situation is quite common in infants, as their digestive systems are not fully developed yet, and bacteria entering the body may cause such symptoms. Massage is generally ineffective, but you can warm your hands with heat and then place them on the baby’s abdomen to relieve discomfort.
