Question
How should the stool condition of a one-year-old baby on breastfeeding be interpreted, Dr. Pediatrics?
Answer
Hello! Based on the information you provided, we consider two main possibilities: first, if the daily breastfeeding volume is moderate, the baby’s stool should be normal; second, if breastfeeding is excessive, the baby’s stool may show abnormalities, such as diarrhea due to indigestion. Since the baby is in the infant stage, its digestive absorption function is still weak, and excessive feeding may lead to indigestion, thereby causing diarrhea.
