Question

How should one handle a newborn experiencing diarrhea symptoms?

Answer

Newborn diarrhea may arise from underdeveloped spleen and stomach functions, leading to inefficient digestion of food and water, which in turn causes watery stools. It is recommended to visit a hospital for regular stool examination and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment. If the baby is mainly fed with breast milk, the mother should pay attention to a light and healthy diet to avoid affecting the baby’s digestive system.
