Question
How should one deal with a newborn’s abdominal distension and diarrhea? Why might a one-month-old infant have loose stools? What treatment measures should be taken?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to provide you with an answer: Considering that it may be due to digestive disorders or enteritis leading to intestinal dysfunction, one should also be aware of the possibility of gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by a cold. Additionally, if the newborn is breastfed, their stools may be more runny, which is mainly related to the underdeveloped gastrointestinal tract of newborns. It is recommended that mothers maintain a light diet, appropriately provide the infant with water supplements, and pay attention to keeping the baby’s abdomen warm.
