Question
A two-week-old newborn is experiencing diarrhea, occurring once a day with loose stools. The baby is on a mixed feeding regimen, and there is no crying after feeding, but the baby often appears restless during sleep, with restless limbs and heavier breathing sounds.
Answer
Check for any cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases in the child. If none are found, it may be due to an improper mixed feeding method, and the feeding method should be adjusted. Newborns have thinner intestines within the first two weeks of life, so it’s important to keep them warm and ensure the food is warm. Consider using Shenling Bai Shu San and think about using probiotics to regulate the intestines. Usually, diarrhea in newborns is a normal physiological phenomenon, but if you are concerned, it is recommended to consult a professional hospital for a check-up.
