Question
My baby is now eight months old. I feel that the child is a bit thin in size, and they always have diarrhea when breastfeeding. I would like to ask, what should I do if a low-weight baby often has diarrhea while breastfeeding?
Answer
Based on your description, it is recommended to drink more water, and chicken or fish soup can promote milk secretion. If the baby continues to have diarrhea, it is also advisable to take the child to the hospital for a check-up and appropriate medication treatment to prevent the child’s condition from worsening. At the same time, it is suggested to give the child some stomach-soothing foods, such as hawthorn. If you have diarrhea, you should give your child some medication to regulate the intestines. Make sure to provide your child with adequate water. You can also exercise together with your children more often.
