Question
How should parents deal with diarrhea in a 6-month-old baby?
Answer
Diarrhea in infants may be caused by abnormal gastrointestinal digestion. It is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. It is advisable to avoid overfeeding the baby. If breastfeeding, the mother should avoid consuming overly fatty or sweet foods. Abdominal massage can be performed on the baby, gently massaging in a clockwise direction while ensuring warmth. If breastfeeding, it is important to keep the breasts clean, and the mother should avoid spicy and irritating foods.
