Question
Experienced mothers, please help! My baby is almost five months old, but lately, she has been having diarrhea. The diarrhea is greenish, watery stools. The baby is also crying and fussing. So, what should I do if my baby is uncomfortable with diarrhea?
Answer
Children’s digestive functions are not fully developed, making them susceptible to diarrhea. For children under five years old, you can try the molding technique, massaging from the waist to the tailbone, 10 times each time, gently massaging the abdomen can also help alleviate the discomfort. For infants under three years old with diarrhea, you can also use your hands to rub your palms until they are warm and then gently place them on the baby’s navel for 20 times to help form stools that day.
