Question
My 71-day-old daughter has been breastfed exclusively. Starting yesterday, after breastfeeding, she poops within a minute. Before, it was once a day, sometimes twice. Lately, she poops after each feeding, but each time the amount is small. I’d like to ask the doctor what this situation could be?
Answer
Based on your description, it may be a case of diarrhea. I suggest paying close attention to the current situation. Since your baby is breastfed, it’s important to pay attention to the mother’s diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Also, be mindful of whether the child is catching a cold. Probiotics can be taken for treatment, and it’s best to have a pediatric examination at the hospital.
