Question
What’s going on with newborn diarrhea that appears within the first 7 days after birth, since the meconium has been passed?
Answer
Hello, based on the description, the newborn’s defecation situation within the first seven days after birth falls within the normal range. As long as the baby is breastfed and in good spirits with stable weight gain, there is no need to worry excessively even if the stool frequency is higher, the shape is looser, and it’s not well-formed. If there is no pus or blood in the stool, it is recommended to continue observation. If the frequency of defecation increases significantly, consider taking oral probiotics to adjust intestinal flora and promote intestinal health.
